“…Denis’s three column model, originally developed for thoracolumbar injury [ 21 ], is also widely used to assess cervical spine stability [ 10 , 16 ], and Subaxial Cervical Spine Injury Classification (SLIC) system encompass treatment strategy with prognosis [ 53 , 79 , 97 , 98 ]. Generally, stable injuries are managed conservatively, and surgical intervention is considered for mechanically or neurologically unstable injuries with shortest construct as possible to avoid compromising spinal column growth [ 65 ]. Future cervical deformity would require surgical treatment based on the degree of malalignment, as cervical spine is in a dynamic relationship with whole spine which can influence global spinal balance [ 47 , 58 ].…”
