Unstable hyperextension injury, C2/3, cervical spine XR

This deceptively innocuous looking film shows a significant, unstable injury - pedicle fractures C2, tear anterior longitudinal ligament and disc at C2/3, fracture spinous process C3. Mild soft tissue swelling in front of C2/3 disc. Depending on the patient's clinical status (especially neurological signs), it may be necessary to do an urgent MRI. The subtlety of many cervical spine injuries makes clearing cervical x-rays difficult and often inappropriate especially when on call.
