The Canadian cervical spine rules simplify the algorithm for determining the need for imaging the cervical spine. This system is based on assessing high-risk factors (age, dangerous mechanism, or paresthesia), low-risk factors that allow for safe assessment of range of motion, and the patient’s ability to rotate the neck 45° to the right and left. Almost half of the radiographs in a study population could have been eliminated by following these rules [18]. There is, however, much debate about applying NEXUS or Canadian cervical spine rules, especially for those under 10 years of age [19].
