This model represents a Type 3b fracture of the atlas, according to the Gehweiler classification, combined with a Type 1 transverse ligament injury as defined by the Dickman system. It depicts a burst fracture of both the anterior and posterior arches of C1, along with an avulsion injury of the transverse ligament. The model is useful for exploring the mechanics and instability associated with ligamentous involvement, offering insight into more complex upper cervical trauma.
