A member asked:
Do doctors see a lot of patients with cervical spine fracture?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
They Should: Anyone with suspected or known cervical spine fracture needs to see a doctor immediately, as some fractures are not stable and can result in paralysis or death. Spine fractures should be treated by a orthopedic spine surgeon or qualified neurosurgeon.

Yes : Unfortunately, cervical fractures are commonly seen in trauma centers. Many heal with wearing a collar. Some require surgical stabilization.
