The forgotten condyle: the appearance, morphology, and classification of occipital condyle fractures.
To evaluate the appearance, morphology, and treatment of occipital condyle fractures (OCF). ⋯ Although OCFs are rare, they will be encountered by most radiologists who see a significant amount of trauma. Type II OCFs were the most common fracture type in our series. Type III fractures were the second most common and potentially unstable. CT should be initiated at the level of the C-1 ring to screen for the presence of OCF in all patients who have suffered trauma.
