ecj-1903	Hansom, Donald; Mathieson, Calan; Purcell, Margaret; MacDonald, Duncan	Acute longitudinal ligament rupture following acute spinal trauma	2014	3	.pdf	application/pdf	2221	126	58	Stress, strain or rupture of soft tissue structures such as the ALL may be caused by relatively mild acceleration forces.3 Injury to the ALL usually occurs as a result of hyperex- tension, with the primary perpetrator being whiplash injuries. The anterior part of the disc space opens up and sometimes a fracture of the back of the vertebral body and/or damage to the interverte- bral disc is noted.3 Whilst whiplash injuries are common, and in some centres are present in up to 57% of all emergency accident cases,7 the incidence of associated ALL rupture is poorly documented.	cache/ecj-1903.pdf	txt/ecj-1903.txt
