TY - JOUR PY - 1985// TI - Another chance: a non-seatbelt related fracture of the lumbar spine JO - Journal of trauma A1 - Hall, H. E. A1 - Robertson, William W. SP - 1163 EP - 1166 VL - 25 IS - 12 N2 - A previously undescribed upper lumbar spine fracture configuration is reviewed in three patients. These flexion/distraction injuries were not associated with seatbelt use. The anterior vertebral body underwent significant compression. The distraction component created a horizontal fracture through the pedicles and lamina, with avulsion of the spinous process of the adjacent cephalad vertebra.
