It is not well-known that articular pillar fractures often occur in association with whiplash injuries.
We evaluted the pillar views of 74 patients who were injured in traffic accidents. In 44.8% of patients, we detected articular pillar fractures. Most of the fractures occurred at C6 or C7. However on the standard lateral view, no articular pillar franctures were detected. Pillar view is a useful screening method for articular pillar fractures. Noboribetsu Kouseinenkin Hospital
