The spine is divided in to different regions and then each vertebrae within that segment is numbered. The vertebrae in the neck are called cervical vertebrae and there are 7 of them. Therefore, a fracture of C6 is a fracture in the 6th cervical vertebrae (at the base of the neck).
Congenital blocked c4 c5 vertebrae is the two cervical (or neck) vertebrae (C4 and C5) fused together, existing at birth, underdeveloped, and which, on x-rays, give the appearance of a more or less solid bony mass.
The C4 is the 4th vertebrae down (if you imagine the neck is the "top" and count down 4 vertebrae.) Please see related link - an image of the spine with vertebrae numbered.
Compression Fracture
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.

No, a broken bone can include surgery while a fracture can include a cast for the body to heal the fracture itself.
The vertebrae of the spine have different names. Those in the neck are called Cervical. So C4 means cervical vertebrae 4 (likely the level at which the bullet entered). T means thoracic, and L means lumbar and S is sacral.
C3-4 and C4-5 refer to specific intervertebral discs in the cervical region of the spine. C3-4 is located between the third and fourth cervical vertebrae, while C4-5 is between the fourth and fifth cervical vertebrae. These discs are situated in the neck area and play a crucial role in providing cushioning and facilitating movement between the vertebrae. They also house important nerves that influence functions in the upper body.
