| Abstract: | We report the case of a fracture separation of the articular pillar at the lower cervical spine. The trauma, following a
brass knuckles, repeats almost in an experimental way the rotation and extension mechanism given in literature for the genesis
of such injuries. From the admission in the orthopaedic service to the surgery, the development went in a characteristic way
towards a rotatory displacement.
