The clinical data of 89 patients was recorded and the patients’ subjective quality of life was assessed by questionnaires, including the validated questionnaires SF-36, the ODI and an investigator designed questionnaire. Cervical spine instabilities were mostly caused by different kind of trauma, including high velocity trauma as well as common falls; the later mentioned occurred particularly in older patients. On average, patients’ age was 54 years; mean age of women was older than age of men. Patients with an instability of the dens axis were older than patients with an instability of a vertebral body. Segments C2, C6 and C7 were most frequently affected. About 25 LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)11 DO - DOI:10.18154/RWTH-2018-229398 UR - https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/748420 ER -
