Met with accident yesterday. Head injury led to 6 stitches being done. Neck and hand were immovable however sensation was there. Admitted in hospital,on traction. But resources are limited due to being an undeveloped town. CT Scan impression: Multiple fractures involving bilateral pedicles of vertebra with facet joints dislocation,right pedicle and left lamina of C3 vertebra,bilateral lamina of C4 vertebra. Sensation is there in all parts of body. Please urgently advise.

You have to be very carefully transported to a hospital having special services for spinal injury like ours Aster Prime Hospital Ameerpet. Fortunately you have perhaps no involvement of the spinal cord and roots means nervous system. Experienced surgeon  will be able to provide you stabilized spine most  probably by operation.
