Posterior cervical dislocation

Posterior cervical dislocation refers to a disease that causes the cervical spine to overextend and cause the lower edge of the upper vertebral body of the cervical vertebra to slide backward on the upper edge of the lower vertebral body to cause corresponding clinical symptoms. Clinically, typical posterior cervical dislocations are rare. Posterior dislocation of the cervical spine is one of the types of severe hyperextension injury, which is a complete injury, most of which are accompanied by spinal cord injury and extensive damage to soft tissues, so the prognosis is poor.
