If you have a fractured neck would your spinal cord be damaged?

It depends on the severity and location of the fracture. A fractured neck does not necessarily mean that the spinal cord is damaged. However, if the fracture is severe or if it occurs at a critical location, it can indeed cause damage to the spinal cord. The spinal cord is a delicate structure that runs through the center of the vertebrae and controls movement, sensation, and reflexes. If it is damaged, it can lead to a variety of complications, including paralysis, loss of sensation, and difficulty breathing.
