- Abstract:
- A 21-year-old man sustained a burst fracture of the 7th cervical vertebral body complicated by a complete loss of sensory and motor functions. He was treated with a pedicled greater omentum flap interposed between the cervical and thoracic spine in a Latin American country. The purpose of this paper is to point out the atypical way of the initial mismanagement. By applying basic principles of fracture management, open reduction and internal fixation was performed resulting in spinal stability which should enhance any chance of recovery of the patient.
