Abstract
Neck injuries in children, particularly those involving the cervical spine, present significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment. These injuries can range from minor sprains to life-threatening fractures or dislocations, potentially leading to long-term disabilities if not managed appropriately. Advances in surgical techniques over the past few decades have significantly improved the outcomes for pediatric cervical spine injuries, reducing the risk of complications and enhancing recovery. This article reviews the new methods in the surgical treatment of neck injuries in children, focusing on innovative approaches to surgery, including minimally invasive techniques, advanced imaging, and the role of biologic materials in promoting healing. By synthesizing the latest research, this paper highlights how these emerging methods are transforming the management of pediatric neck injuries and improving the overall prognosis for affected children.
