Clay shoveler's fracture:
fracture, which results from hyperflexion of the neck, results in avulsion fractures on the spinous
processes of C6 through T1. The fracture is best demonstrated on a lateral cervical spine radiograph.
Compression fracture
Frequently associated with osteoporosis, a compression fracture often involves collapse of a vertebral
body, which results from flexion or axial loading most often in the thoracic or lumbar regions. It also can
result from severe kyphosis caused by other diseases.
Facets - unilateral subluxation and bilateral locks
Zygapophyseal joints in the cervical region can be disrupted during trauma. If the patient's injury
involves flexion, distraction, and rotation, only one zygapophyseal joint may be out of alignment, with a
unilateral subluxation. Radiographically, the vertebral body will be rotated on its axis, creating a bowtie
artifact on the lateral cervical spine image
Hangman's fracture:
This fracture extends through the pedicles of C2, with or without subluxation of C2 on C3. This cervical
fracture occurs when the neck is subjected to extreme hyperextension.
, Herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP)
If the soft inner part (nucleus pulposus) of an intervertebral disk protrudes through the fibrous cartilage
outer layer (annulus) into the spinal canal, it may press on the spinal cord or spinal nerves, causing
severe pain and possible numbness that radiate into the extremities. This condition sometimes is called
a slipped disk
Jefferson fracture
This comminuted fracture (splintered or crushed at site of impact) occurs as a result of axial loading,
such as that produced by landing on one's head or abruptly on one's feet
Kyphosis:
his condition is an abnormal or exaggerated convex curvature of the thoracic spine that results in
stooped posture and reduced height.
Odontoid fracture:
This fracture involves the dens and can extend into the lateral masses or arches of C1. An AP open
mouth projection will demonstrate any disruption of the arches of C1.
Osteoarthritis
degenerative joint disease
Osteoporosis
loss of bone mass
