They may be overlooked in an anteroposterior view, and alateral view should always be obtained as a check. These fracturesrun a long clinical course and give no evidence of callus formationeven after months or years. Localized hypertrophic spurs orbridges to adjoining bodies often develop after these Fig. 11. -Fracture along the transverse process of the fifth lumbar and of the fourthlumbar on the right. Fractures of the body of the fifth lumbar may occur but it is notcommon. This vertebra, owing to its tilted position, is so distortedin the average picture that its outlines are recognized with diagnosis of fracture of this body should not be made without agood stereoscopic inspection of its direct anteroposterior diameterin addition to a lateral view if possible. Transverse processes may be fractured by severe lumbar injuries,usually several vertebrte being affected. There may or may notbe considerable separation of the fragments. Fracture of the posterior ring and transverse processes is seldom 38 FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS directly shown. They may be diagnosed by the change in the rela-tions of the vertebrEe at the site of the lesion, usually a slight rota-tion or angulation so that the spinous processes of the vertebreeabove the lesion are out of line with those of
