Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report the case of a 15 year old male who presented complaining of neck pain and upper extremity radicular symptoms one day post trampoline trauma. He was diagnosed with a nondisplaced vertical or "slit fracture" at C5 and C6. It is believed that the mechanism of injury, trampoline trauma, allowed this unusual fracture. A review of the literature provides some insight regarding speed of force and fracture displacement that may have relevance in this particular case. A review of the literature failed to find a previous report of such an event |
