Frontal X-ray scan of the thoracic vertebra of a 27-year-old patient subject to a road accident. There is a chance fracture (centre) of the T11 thoracic vertebra. Chance fractures involve all 3 columns of the spine and result from flexion-distraction injuries. They commonly occur at the thoracolumbar junction and often associated with a seat belt injury in car accidents. | |
