Optimizing surgical strategies for subaxial cervical fracture-dislocation: a facet and disc injury-based approach
Facet and disc injury patterns strongly affect surgical decision-making. Anterior approaches are preferable for disc extrusion or facet fractures, while posterior surgery is suited for locked facets without fractures. Accurate injury classification via imaging can guide individualized treatment and improve outcomes.
