  • Title: Multiple noncontiguous fractures of the cervical spine.
    Author: Shear P, Hugenholtz H, Richard MT, Russell NA, Peterson EW, Benoit BG, da Silva VF.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1988 May; 28(5):655-9. PubMed ID: 3367408.
    Abstract:
    Multiple noncontiguous fracture-subluxations of the cervical spine are fractures and subluxations separated by at least one normal intervening cervical vertebra. A review of all 66 consecutive cervical spine fractures treated by the Division of Neurosurgery at the University of Ottawa during 26 consecutive months revealed six such cases (9%). These injuries are more common than previously recognized. Special consideration is required in their treatment because of the presence of a mobile intermediate segment in some of these patients.
