Description

In this 3D model of a Type 3a C1 fracture, the visualization focuses on the disruption of the transverse ligament and the extensive damage to the C1 vertebra. The fracture is clearly shown as it affects both the anterior and posterior elements of the vertebra. The image illustrates how this fracture leads to significant instability and the potential for spinal cord compression. This model provides a detailed look at the complex nature of the injury, helping to understand the urgency of surgical intervention and the challenges involved in restoring vertebral alignment.
