ABSTRACT

Type IIA Hangman's fracture results from fi-exion-distraction injury and shows severe angu-lation with minimum displacement. In this study, A variant case of type IIA hangman's fracture re-sulting from extension-distraction injury with posterior angulation is presented and discus-sed. Type IIA Hangman's fracture may result from extension-distraction injury and severe an-gulation of C2 may be posterior instead of being anterior as in its original description.
