spinal fractures
Vakuumphänomen
in eingebrochenem Wirbelkörper, dringend verdächtig für Wirbelkörpernekrose.
X-ray of the
cervical spine with a Hangman"s fracture. Left without, right with annotation. C2 (outlined in red) is moved forward with respect to C3 (outlined in blue).
Behandlung
einer instabilen Densfraktur: Spondylodese HWK 1 / 2 mit dorsalem Fixateur interne. Die Pedikelschrauben sind gekreuzt eingebracht. Der hintere Atlasbogen wird von den Klammern umfasst. Zusätzlich Spongiosamaterial angelagert.
Cervical
Spine MRI of patient with SCI: C4 fracture and dislocation, spinal cord compression
Praktisch
unverschobene, mehrfache Fraktur des Atlas im Sinne einer Jefferson-Fraktur bei einem 84 Jahre alten Mann nach Sturz auf den Kopf. Man erkennt in den beiden axialen Schichten der Computertomographie die Frakturlinien ventral und beidseits lateral. Keine Verlagerung des Dens.
Spinal fractures are usually the result of significant trauma to a normally formed skeleton or the result of trauma to a weakened spinal column. Examples include:
- Jefferson fracture: ring fracture of C1
- hangman fracture: bilateral pedicle or pars fracture of C2
- dens fracture
- flexion teardrop fracture: unstable flexion fracture
- extension teardrop fracture: stable injury
- clay-shoveler fracture: spinal process avulsion injury
- Chance fracture: horizontal fracture through the thoracolumbar spine
- burst fracture: always involves the posterior vertebral body cortex
- wedge fracture: single column anterior vertebral fracture
- vertebra plana: vertebra has lost almost its entire height both anteriorly and posteriorly
- chalk-stick fracture: most frequently in ankylosing spondylitis
- limbus fracture: fracture of the apophyseal ring
Further information about specific fractures can be found by anatomic site:
- cervical spine fracture
- thoracic spine fracture
- lumbar spine fracture
- sacral fracture
- coccygeal fracture
Differential diagnoses
- limbus vertebra: can mimic a fracture
