A fracture of the neck vertebrae C4 to C6 refers to a break in one or more of the cervical vertebrae located in the neck region, specifically between the fourth and sixth cervical vertebrae. Such fractures can result from trauma, such as car accidents or falls, and may lead to various degrees of spinal cord injury, potentially affecting mobility and sensation. Symptoms can include neck pain, weakness, numbness, or paralysis, depending on the severity of the injury. Prompt medical evaluation and treatment are crucial to manage the condition and prevent further complications.
