Description

The Type 3b C1 fracture is depicted in this 3D model, highlighting the severe damage to both the bony structures and the transverse ligament of the C1 vertebra. The visualization shows the large fracture extending through the vertebral ring, with displacement and angulation clearly visible. The image emphasizes the significant instability and the high risk of neurological injury. This model is particularly useful for understanding how such fractures require immediate surgical stabilization to prevent further damage and restore spinal integrity.
