Figs. (1-3). Further investigation with a CT scan showed that the fracture was an AO type C1 extension injury (Fig. 4). At this time his x-rays showed callous formation anteriorly and laterally between the L1 and L2 vertebral bodies Figs. (1 and 3), mature bridging bone across the middle and posterior columns at L1 and L2 on the lateral view Figs. (1 and 2). There was no change in the sagittal or coronal alignments (Figs. 1 & 3).
Arrows pointing to the posterior column fracture areas on the initial lateral xray and follow up lateral xray.
