  • Title: Cervical Spine Fracture With Vertebral Artery Dissection.
    Author: Halfpap JP, Cho AA, Rosenthal MD.
    Journal: J Orthop Sports Phys Ther; 2016 Oct; 46(10):929. PubMed ID: 27690837.
    Abstract:
    A 51-year-old man presented to a direct-access physical therapy clinic with persistent neck pain for 5 days after a fall in shallow water while surfing. Based on "dangerous mechanism of injury" from the Canadian cervical spine rule as being a high risk factor, the physical therapist ordered radiographs of the cervical spine, which were suggestive of a more serious injury. Computed tomography suggested and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed vertebral artery dissection. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2016;46(10):929. doi:10.2519/jospt.2016.0416.
