From: Conservative treatment of a comminuted cervical fracture in a racehorse
Lateral view of the cranial cervical vertebrae (C1-C2) of a nine-year-old Thoroughbred racehorse, two weeks after trauma. An odontoid process type 2a fracture (white arrow), with dorsal and ventral fragmentation (black arrows), is visible around the vertebral canal. It is possible that these fragments were lateralised which limited their impingement on the spinal cord.
