The vast majority of injuries to the cervical spine, unaccompanied by neurological deficit, escape diagnosis because of the minimal clinical symptoms associated with such injuries. For the same reason many of those who consult their doctors following such injuries, are not adequately investigated. This article presents a new clinical sign to recognise a certain type of cervical spine injury, and a simple way of documenting the observations. It is proposed that in the presence of this sign, adequate radiological investigations must be deemed mandatory to exclude bony injury to the cervical spine.
绝大多数颈椎损伤在没有神经功能缺损的情况下，由于此类损伤相关的临床症状轻微而未被诊断出来。出于同样的原因，许多在遭受此类损伤后咨询医生的人并未得到充分的检查。本文介绍了一种识别特定类型颈椎损伤的新临床体征，以及记录观察结果的简单方法。建议在出现该体征时，必须进行充分的放射学检查以排除颈椎骨损伤。
