Modified external fixator in pediatric multilevel noncontiguous cervical spinal fracture dislocation: A case report
Spinal column trauma is relatively uncommon in the pediatric population, representing 1–2% of all pediatric fractures, and most of these injuries involve the cervical spine. However, pediatric spinal injury at more than one level is not uncommon. The reported incidence of multilevel spine injury ranges from 6% to 50% in pediatric patients with spine injury [1–3]. Multilevel injuries are classified as “noncontiguous” if there is preservation of at least one uninjured articulation between the injuries [4].
