Abstract
A high percentage of sagittal fractures of cervical vertebrae bodies occur as teardrop, compression, and other types of fractures, or as dislocations, and are frequently accompanied by spinal-cord injuries [1–11]. These cases are frequently seen in level 1 trauma centers. However, the case of isolated sagittal fracture, in which no other kinds of fractures or dislocations occur within the same and/or the neighboring vertebral bodies, is rare [12–14]. We examined how such injuries occur by studying one case of multiple contiguous isolated sagittal fractures with no neurological deficit. The relationship between the mechanism of trauma and spinal-cord damage was also examined. The patient was informed that data concerning the case would be submitted for publication, and he consented.
