  • Title: [Fractures and dislocations of the cervical spine caused by hanging (author's transl)].
    Author: Saternus KS, Messler H, Palm W.
    Journal: Z Rechtsmed; 1978 Sep 28; 82(1):55-69. PubMed ID: 706847.
    Abstract:
    In comparison to the pattern of lesions of the soft tissue of the neck and the CVC in case of suicidal hanging 17 postmortal fracture-dislocations of the neck are investigated. It could be demonstrated that on principle in case of hanging the dens-fracture can occur. With respect to the hangman's fracture (Wood-Jones) a differentiation into 3 types is proposed.
