Jefferson Fracture - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim

[@Reaperbeater]

in 2014 i was in a car accident and suffered a 2 part unstable Jefferson fracture this is the first video that explained this injury in a way i could fully understand. My doctors while amazing did not explain things well all i knew was i broke my neck severely and needed surgery ASAP. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!

[@janedemoratti8981]

Yes. I had to ask LOTS of questions to get any information out of the doctors. I was more or less left in the dark as to how to try to sleep in the damned brace and I found a video here on KZbin that a woman posted that was a godsend to me, where she shows how to roll up towels and anchor them each side of your head. It keeps your head still but is also a comfort. I hate sleeping on my back but this at least enabled me to turn my body slightly but still keep my neck straight. I hope you're fully recovered now. Yes, you did beat the reaper. Makes you think, doesn't it?

I'm a physical therapist and you are my go to source Dr Ebraheim first. I always say " What does Dr E say about this?"

[@sarahlay9845]

your videos are better than my lectures from medschool by far!!

[@janedemoratti8981]

Thank you very much for all this information. I recently fractured my C1 vertebra and, thankfully, it was a stable fracture. I am now in physio and recovering really well but wanted to understand the terms in my spine consultant's correspondence. I also found it very helpful to know which type of impact my head had to sustain the injury, and why my doctors made the choices they did when treating me. A bit scary to watch, however, even though I am healed now.

Hi Jane hope ur doing well! Im a med student! Can you describe how you sustained the fracture? I'll remember it much better,in the exam!

[@greatwhitesharky3261]

I broke my C1 back in 2005, halo brace for 23 weeks and hard collard for another 12 weeks.

Thank you for such an educational video, I learned more here then from my neurosurgeon. I too had Jefferson fracture when I tree fell on me. Thank goodness I’m walking and talking.

[@chriswetterich7856]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had a tree fall on them. I feel so silly telling people this.

[@kendellupson6198]

I pray to God that doesn't happen to me when I get older, I got into an accident on Dec 29 I'm 19 now

[@janedemoratti8981]

I'm so sorry to hear this, Charles. I hope that by now you have less pain or have found something to lessen it for you. Take care of yourself. X
