Fracture of one or more of the ver-tebral processes either of the same or of adjoining vertebrae is common. Pathology. The fracture of the body of a vertebra may be complete or incom-plete ; the line of fracture may extend only partly through it or en-tirely across it, or it may be broken into several fragments, or com-pressed, or impacted. The line of fracture, if single, may be vertical,horizontal, or oblique in any direction ; the first being found almostexclusively in the cervical and upper dorsal regions, the two latterand multiple fractures occurring everywhere. The transverse andoblique fractures lie, as a rule, nearer the upper than the lower Fi(i. 67. Fig.
