#### 1️⃣ Injury Morphology (شكل الإصابة)[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: 1️⃣ Injury Morphology (شكل الإصابة)")

يُحدَّد أساسًا من CT scan، وأحيانًا MRI.

##### ▪ Compression injury – Score 1[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: ▪ Compression injury – Score 1")

*   Loss of anterior vertebral body height
*   Stable غالبًا
*   Examples: simple wedge fracture

##### ▪ Burst fracture – Score 2[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: ▪ Burst fracture – Score 2")

*   Posterior wall involvement
*   Risk of canal compromise
*   Stability depends on PLC

##### ▪ Translation / Rotation injury – Score 3[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: ▪ Translation / Rotation injury – Score 3")

*   Horizontal displacement أو rotation
*   Highly unstable
*   Indicates severe ligamentous disruption

##### ▪ Distraction injury – Score 4[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: ▪ Distraction injury – Score 4")

*   Failure under tension
*   Seen in flexion-distraction injuries (Chance fracture)

📌 Exam pearl: Translation/rotation أخطر من burst، وdistraction أخطرهم جميعًا من ناحية instability.

#### 2️⃣ Posterior Ligamentous Complex (PLC)[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=10 "Edit section: 2️⃣ Posterior Ligamentous Complex (PLC)")

يتكوّن من:

*   Supraspinous ligament
*   Interspinous ligament
*   Ligamentum flavum
*   Facet joint capsules

يُقيَّم أساسًا بـ MRI.

##### ▪ Intact – Score 0[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=11 "Edit section: ▪ Intact – Score 0")

*   No edema, normal alignment

##### ▪ Indeterminate / suspected – Score 2[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=12 "Edit section: ▪ Indeterminate / suspected – Score 2")

*   Subtle edema
*   Equivocal MRI findings

##### ▪ Disrupted – Score 3[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=13 "Edit section: ▪ Disrupted – Score 3")

*   Clear discontinuity
*   Widened interspinous distance
*   Facet dislocation

📌 High-yield جدًا: PLC injury = game changer → غالبًا surgery حتى لو fracture شكله بسيط.

#### 3️⃣ Neurological Status[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=14 "Edit section: 3️⃣ Neurological Status")

##### ▪ Intact – Score 0[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=15 "Edit section: ▪ Intact – Score 0")

##### ▪ Nerve root injury – Score 2[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=16 "Edit section: ▪ Nerve root injury – Score 2")

##### ▪ Complete spinal cord injury – Score 2[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=17 "Edit section: ▪ Complete spinal cord injury – Score 2")

*   Surgery لا تحسّن neurological outcome
*   لكن قد تُجرى لأسباب stability/pain

##### ▪ Incomplete spinal cord injury – Score 3[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=18 "Edit section: ▪ Incomplete spinal cord injury – Score 3")

*   Strong indication for surgery

##### ▪ Cauda equina syndrome – Score 3[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/69525f34-c274-8008-8a68-a50fa8d68cd8&action=edit&section=19 "Edit section: ▪ Cauda equina syndrome – Score 3")

*   Surgical emergency

📌 Exam pearl: Incomplete cord injury أخطر من complete من حيث decision making → surgery indicated.
