Wirbelsäulenverletzungen

  • Chapter

  • 3841 Accesses

Zusammenfassung

Wirbelsäulenverletzungen bei Kindern sind selten. 60–80% dieser Verletzungen sind im Bereich der Halswirbelsäule lokalisiert; Halswirbelsäulenverletzungen sind bei Kindern doppelt so häufig wie bei Erwachsenen (Akbarnia 1999). Dies ist bedingt durch die anatomischen Verhältnisses wie den überproportional großen Kopf, die größere Laxität von Bändern und Gelenkkapsel und damit verbunden die größere Beweglichkeit, flache Facettengelenke und die schwächere Nackenmuskulatur und die unvollständige Verknöcherung der Wirbelelemente (◘ Abb. 12.1; Roche et al. 2001): Kinder mit Wirbelsäulenverletzungen haben im Vergleich zu Erwachsenen eine höhere Morbidität und Letalität, meist infolge der assoziierten Verletzungen (Dowd et al. 2002; Nitecki et al. 1994).
