loss of mineral bone content, loss of horizontal trabeculae,
appears radiographically as verticle striations
Osteoporosis
Thoracic vertebrae
Laminectomy
Spina bifida
Carotid tubercles on C6
Atlas (C1)
Jefferson Fracture (C1)
Axis (C2)
Hangman's fracture (C2)
, surgical transection bifida cystica asso-ciated w neural damage/paralysis
point of the lamina; site for manual compression of carotid artery; control
used to widen bleeding of distal lacerations to artery; landmark for supr-
vertebral foramen, aclavicular anesthesia injections.
decompress spinal No body/spine, supports weight of skull (lateral masses)
cord (spinal steno-sis)
excessive axial loading (diving into shallow water) forces
incomplete formation lateral masses apart; can result in fracture to both ante-
of hyaline cartilage rior/posterior arches; damage to spinal cord uncommon
leaving neur- al arch (vertebral canal widens)
open posteriorly;
PIVOT joint for skull rotation, odontoid process (dens);
asymptomic spina
odontoid fractures
bifida occult (10-20%)
common to general spondylolysis of C2 resulting from hyperextension of oc-
population associated ciput; happened during executions when noose knot
w/ tuft of hair on back; placed under chin; associated w/ spinal cord injury
