Occipital condyles should line up with the lateral masses and superior articular facet of C1. The distance from the dens to the lateral masses of C1 should be e

The odontoid should have uninterrupted cortical margins blending with the body of C2. Classification of Fractures of c-spine HYPERFLEXION INJURIES Flexion teardrop fracture

25、LATRAL C2 pars interarticularis fractures. Prevertebral soft tissue swelling The CT-images confirm the fracture-lines of the hangmans fracture. They run through the pars interarticularis resulting in a traumatic spondylolysis. In this case there was no neurologic deficit, because the spinal canal is

26、 widened at the level of the fracture.

27、ndrome . The CT confirms the displaced anteroinferior bony fragment. This fragment is a true avulsion, in contrast to the flexion teardrop fracture in which the fragment is produced by compression of the anterior vertebral aspect due to hyperflexion. Jefferson Fracture C-1 Best seen on odontoid view

28、 Unstable fracture Fracture due to AXIAL LOADING frequently associated with diving into shallow water(axial blow to the vertex of the head ) impact against the roof of a vehicle fall from playground equipments Fracture is caused by a compressive downward force that is transmitted evenly through the

29、occipital condyles to the superior articular surfaces of the lateral masses of C1. This process displaces the masses laterally and causes fractures of the anterior and posterior arches, along with possible disruption of the transverse ligament.
