abstract="The purpose of this study was epidemiological analysis of trauma causes and trauma effects including age and sex. 112 patients after cervical spine trauma, admitted in Emergency Room of Self-Financing Public District Hospital of Trauma Surgery at Piekary Slaskie were studied retrospectively. The following parameters were estimated: age, sex, cause of injury, type and localization of pathology. The mean age was 35.4 years. The largest age group consisted of patients 25-45 years old. Males predominated over females in all age groups. The most common cause of cervical spine injury was traffic accident with a patient as a car driver or as a car passenger (45.5%) The most common pathology was luxation and subluxation (36.6%). Luxations and subluxations were most often localized on C1-C2 level (50.6% of all luxations), and on C5-C6 level (19.8% of all luxations). Fractures were most often localized in C5 vertebra (24.8% of all fractures). These results suggest that causes and results of trauma and participation of both sex have changed.<p /> <p>Language: pl</p>",
