Abstract

The term hangman's fracture was first used in literature to describe the characteristic lesion in judicial hanging. A similar fracture dislocation seen in victims of falls and traffic collisions was later recognized and reported. In this report 6 case studies of such fracture dislocations from collisions are described.
