  • Title: Rapid closed reduction of cervical fracture dislocations.
    Author: Yashon D, Tyson G, Vise WM.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1975 Dec; 4(6):513-4. PubMed ID: 1188588.
    Abstract:
    Indications and a procedure for rapid closed reduction and decompression of cervical fracture dislocations in less than two hours by tong traction are described. Large amounts of weight are utilized. Neurologic damage due either to the large amount of weight or to rapidity of reduction has not been observed. The procedure is advocated in appropriate patients, provided that both sequential neurologic and radiographic monitoring are carried out.
