    AbstractA 46-year-old male soldier reported to an emergency department with severe acute neck pain immediately following a hyperflexion injury during recreational skydiving. He was evaluated in the emergency department, including radiographs, and released with a diagnosis of "acute neck strain." After presenting with continued neck pain, he was sent for consultation with a physical therapist. The physical therapist ordered cervical spine radiographs, which revealed findings consistent with cervical fracture and ligamentous disruption. In addition, the radiologist recommended computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, which confirmed bilateral C6 lamina fractures and multiple ligamentous disruption at C5-6.
