HERE COMES THE NEXT ONE!!!

Very much guessable....read the question carefully and try answering....

•A ____________ fracture is the colloquial name given to a fracture of the pedicles or pars of the axis (C2 vertebra).
•The mechanism of the injury is forcible hyperextension of the head
•When the subject was dropped, the head would be forced into hyperextension by the full weight of the body, a sufficient force to cause the fracture.

Fill In

THIS IS ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVOURITES...COURTESY ''READER'S DIGEST''

ITS CALLED THE HANGMAN'S FRACTURE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE WORDS

''When the subject was dropped, the head would be forced into hyperextension '',

YOU CAN VISUALISE THE HANGING TAKING PLACE....SO THERE YOU GO..ITS CALLED THA HANGMAN'S FRACTURE .IT IS PRECISELY DUE TO THIS FRACTURE THAT PEOPLE DIE WHEN HANGED!!!

TOUGH ONE TO CRACK. HAPPY TO SEE RAM AND HARINI CRACKING THIS ONE..
