---

An understanding of head injury mechanism has a major role in predicting the anatomical injury. Frontal depressed fracture occurs if a substantial force is applied to the head. In this case, the flexion and extension axis. Overflexion and over-extension movement was reported to have correlation with cervical injury. This study was to find out the correlation cervical injury and frontal depresses fracture in mild head injury cases. A retrospective analytic study was carried out, chi-square and Pearson correlation test were performed using records of patients
consulted to Neurosurgery Department of Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital in January 2008–December 2009. There were 354 cases of mild head injury with 17 (4.8%) cases of frontal depressed fracture, 14 (3.9%) cervical injuries, included one with both. The cause of the trauma were riding motorcycle, fell from height, and blunt trauma to the head. The statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between cervical injury and frontal depressed fracture (p=0.000). There was no correlation between helmet utilization and risk of cervical injury (p=0.157). In
conclusion, fracture in mild head injury cases is an indicator of cervical injury. [MKB. 2011;43(3):122–7].
