TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Fractures and dislocations of the cervical spine caused by hanging JO - Zeitschrift fur Rechtsmedizin A1 - Saternus, K. S. A1 - Messler, H. A1 - Palm, W. SP - 55 EP - 69 VL - 82 IS - 1 N2 - In comparison to the pattern of lesions of the soft tissue of the neck and the CVC in case of suicidal hanging 17 postmortal fracture-dislocations of the neck are investigated. It could be demonstrated that on principle in case of hanging the dens-fracture can occur. With respect to the hangman's fracture (Wood-Jones) a differentiation into 3 types is proposed.
