Traumatic Vertebral Artery Injury After Subaxial Cervical Spine Injuries: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Long-Term Outcomes: A Population-Based Cohort Study
The findings suggest that clinical outcomes of patients with traumatic cervical spine injuries were not negatively affected by the presence of a VAI. Several radiographic factors were associated with VAI; however, only facet joint dislocation remained as an independent predictor of this injury.
