Hi,
C1 fracture of at all present is a very serious condition and needs immediate help from an Orthopedician. It will lead to paraplegia if the fracture worsens. Do not neglect it or delay going to an Orthopedician.
Hi there!
Well, traumatic fractures of the cervical spine may be catastrophic and often result due to acute injuries. If you have been in an acute injury and have not seen a doctor since, you may consider visiting the ER. If there has been no acute trauma, I would suggest getting the x-rays read by your family physician/ radiologist and getting the injury confirmed before you see an orthopedician/ neurosurgeon.
Hope this helps.
Take care!
