Interprofessional Spine Care Review: Enhancing Communication and Patient
Navigation -A
comprehensive review was conducted on a case involving a patient who
experienced a motor vehicle crash, presenting with headache, neck pain, and
left wrist pain. The overview included plain film radiographs of the cervical
spine, with a specific emphasis on intersegmental motion and alterations in
motion segment integrity. Detailed biomechanical analysis was also discussed. The review extended to coronal view MRI
utilizing T1 and T2 sequences, with particular focus on the upper cervical
region, specifically the alar ligaments. A hyperintense signal was noted
laterally and correlated clinically with the patient's presenting symptoms. The
discussion included proper diagnosis and management of upper cervical grade 2
ligament injuries, providing a detailed and comprehensive presentation. Federation
