BIOMECHANICAL, RADIOGRAPHIC AND OSTEOLOGIC OBSERVATIONS OF LOWER CERVICAL SPINE INJURIES

摘要

This paper discusses the nature and gamut of vertical midsagittal fracture with and without bilateral laminae fracture in terms of the "teardrop fracture". The occurrence of midsagittal fracture patterns of adjacent vertical levels were identified. The characteristics and mechanics of the midsaggital fracture are hypothesized relative to vertebral body architecture.
