Zusammenfassung

Verletzungen der Wirbelsäule kommen bei Patienten im Wachstumsalter sehr selten vor. Schwarz et al. [78] bezeichneten sie als „Rarität“. Sie berichteten über 30 Kinder mit HWS-Verletzungen aus einem Gesamtkollektiv von 4,5 Mio. Verletzten österreichischer Unfallkrankenhäuser (1965–1990). Henrys et al. [36] fanden bei 600 HWS-Verletzten nur 2% Kinder, Jonasch u. Bertel [44] bei 260 000 verletzten Kindern aus den Jahren 1966–1976 nur 31 Läsionen der HWS. Entsprechend gering sind die Erfahrungen der meisten Unfallchirurgen mit diesen Läsionen.
