Cervical dislocation

Cervical dislocation is a common disease in pediatric orthopedics, and the age of onset is mostly between 3-7 years old. There are 7 vertebrae in the human neck. The first cervical vertebra is called the atlas, and the second cervical vertebra is called the vertebra. The atlantoaxial dislocation is the most common clinically. The pathogenesis is generally believed to cause inflammation of the neck after inflammation Congestion of various tissues in the segment leads to congestion of the ligaments around the atlantoaxial vertebra, and bone absorption, looseness, and decalcification. Therefore, any minor trauma can cause subdislocation of the intervertebral vertebrae.
