Clinical: The NEXUS criteria state that a patient with suspected c-spine injury can be cleared providing the following: No posterior midline cervical spine tenderness is present. No evidence of intoxication is present. The patient has a normal level of alertness. No focal neurologic deficit is present. The patient does not have a painful distracting injury. 90.7% sensitive for clearing low risk patients without the need for radiographic studies. Clearing a Cervical Spine Injury

Radiological (plain films): Lateral View: -anterior contour line -posterior contour line -spinolaminar contour line Each of these lines should form a smooth lordotic curve. An exception occurs in young children who may have a benign pseudosubluxation in the upper cervical spine. Check individual vertebrae thoroughly for obvious fracture or changes in bone density. ADI- space between dens and atlas <3mm in adults, 4-5mm in kids Soft tissue swelling anterior to vertebral bodies Odontoid View: Important for visualizing the dens (C2) and looking at the symmetry between the dens and the lateral masses of C1. Can also see if the spinous processes are midline Clearing a Cervical Spine Injury
