    AbstractInjuries to the subaxial cervical spine are increasing and have an increased neurological risk compared to the thoracic and lumbar spines. The current treatment recommendations according to the therapeutic recommendations of the Spine Section of the German Society for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery (DGOU) as well as the S1 guidelines of the German Trauma Society (DGU) are presented. This second part of the article describes the correct indications and treatment planning for injuries to the cervical spine. Based on the AOSpine classification for subaxial cervical spine injuries, decisions can be made about conservative or surgical treatment as well as individual details of the treatment. The underlying principles of treatment are relief of neurological structures, restoration of stability and reconstruction/preservation of the physiological alignment.© 2021.
