Fig. 8

A representative case with progression of local kyphosis. a, b Computed tomography (CT) images at the time of injury showed the vertebral vertical fracture and left laminar fracture at the C4 level. c Cervical spinal cord injury was confirmed by T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the time of injury. d MRI at the time of final follow-up (1110 days after injury) showed the progression of local cervical kyphosis from 17 to 36°, measured by the endplate method. His neurological finding remained at AIS grade D and improved to modified Frankel grade D3
