From: Traumatic odontoid process synchondrosis fracture with atlantoaxial instability in a calf: clinical presentation and imaging findings

Figure 3

The fractured but normally developed odontoid process (asterisk) is highlighted by sagittal reconstruction of the post-mortem CT examination. The fracture site is located at the synchondrosis (S) between the base of the odontoid process and the body of the axis (C2). Comminuted bony fragments are visible ventrally in this aspect (arrow), and the odontoid process displacement was calculated to be 40% (see the calculation formula in the text). A = atlas.
