Severe flexion of the c-spine can cause disruption of the posterior ligaments with anterior compression of the vertebral body. This is called a flexion teardrop fracture. A teardrop fracture is usually associated with a spinal cord injury, often a result of displacement of the posterior portion of the vertebral body into the central spinal canal.[1]
