AP Xray of lumbar spine
This x-ray shows a fracture of a vertebra following a high velocity road traffic accident.
The lateral view nearby shows the extent of the damage to the individual bone.
This is a good case to think about the management of major trauma in general and the risks, management and complications of this serious injury.
You can send in any answers to Dundeebones (who promises not to publish them if you are not sure they are right! ed)
Discussion on management at the end of week2 on DundeeBones.
