C3 C4 Spine

C3 – C4 is the location in the spine where the fracture has occurred. This particular location is at the third and fourth cervical vertebrae of your spine, which begins just below your skull and ends at your tailbone. The cervical vertebrae are the first 7 bones of your spine. The C3-C4 protects the area of the spinal cord that is responsible for movement of the deltoids, biceps, and diaphragm. People with this type of injury may require ventilator assistance, and be paralyzed from the neck down.

C4 Vertebrae
2016-10-01 11:38:47 · answer #5 · answered by calvani 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
your neck has 7 cervical vertebra (bones that hold the head up)
c 3 and c4 are the 3rd and 4th bones inthe neck
fractures of these two bones is very serious and if not properly treated could result in death if the spinal cord at that level should become involved

c-3 & c-4 are two connections in the spinal cord. These 2 are in the neck. So the neck is fractured in 2 vertabre.

c3-c4 refers to the discs in the cervical (neck) area of your spine. If they are "fractured" then you better be wearing a neck brace!

Depends on type of fracture and type of work. Stable fractures and desk job probably a week or two, unstable fractures and manual job it could be months and then only after careful examination by an expert.
