Nondisplaed fracture of the right C7 transverse process
Hello,
Can you tell me how long a person with a c7 neck fracture should wear a rigid neck brace? My husband fell
over 5' and only had the brace on 1 1/2 weeks. This seems to be too short of a time wearing the neck brace. I am very concerned about this.
This is what the report states:
Nondisplaed fracture of the right C7 transverse process
No thoracic spine fracture, no lumbar spine fracture. Alignment is normal
Tiny right dependent pneumothorax which may be contained by small amount of hemothorax.
Fractured right 2nd, 3rd, and 4th posterior ribs. Non displaced fracture of the right lateral 3rd and 4th ribs
I would appreciate any help.
