Meta-analysis reveals associations between spinal fractures and blunt cerebrovascular injuries, indicating important clinical implications.
This meta-analysis showed an association between facet dislocations and fractures involving the transverse foramen and increased odds of BCVI. No statistically significant association was identified between BCVI and fractures at specific vertebral levels, although upper cervical fractures were frequently observed among affected patients. Heterogeneity between studies calls for caution when interpreting results.
