Abstract |
The main purpose of this study was to highlight the therapeutic approach of pediatric multilevel noncontiguous cervical spine fractures in resource-limited settings. We report the case of a 15-year-old teenager with C1, C2, C4, C6, and C7 fractures following fall from height treated with a modified external fixator. At final follow-up, he fully recovered neurologic functions with bone healing. The modified external fixator is a therapeutic modality for pediatric multilevel noncontiguous cervical spine fractures. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 September 2018.
All research outputs
#20,532,290
of 23,103,436 outputs
Outputs from Child's Nervous System
#1,823
of 2,821 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#292,461
of 335,873 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Child's Nervous System
#36
of 74 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,103,436 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,821 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 335,873 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 74 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
