GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cervical spinal cord injuries are typically the most severe type of spinal cord injuries. They may result in quadriplegia or tetraplegia with associated loss of muscle strength in all four extremities. Based on the extent of the injury, cervical spinal cord injuries can be complete or incomplete.

Detailed explanation-2: -They are used when the doctors want to stop almost all movement of the neck in any direction. A rigid collar is used after surgery or after severe trauma, such as cervical fractures, where healing will take a long time.

Detailed explanation-3: -A halo device is the most rigid of all neck braces. It prevents the head and neck from moving, and it may be necessary to immobilize the spine after a major cervical spine procedure or to stabilize fractures in the cervical and/or thoracic regions. Halo bracing is a form of spinal traction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Immediate Treatment A minor compression fracture may be treated with a cervical brace worn for 6 to 8 weeks until the bone heals. A more complex or extensive fracture may require traction, surgery, 2 to 3 months in a rigid cast, or a combination of these treatments.
