The incidence of spinal injuries in children is reported to be 2 to 5% of all spine injuries (Reynolds, 2000). Although uncommon, these injuries are more common than anyone would like them to be, and they can be associated with significant morbidity posing challenges to care. Automotive injuries are the most common cause followed by sporting injuries. More than half of pediatric spinal cord injuries occur in the cervical area (Brown, Brunn, & Garcia, 2001; Cirak et al., 2004; Eleraky, Theodore, Adams, Rekate, & Sonntag, 2000).
