The dens (odontoid process) projects superiorly and acts as the axis around which the atlas rotates. | A flat, triangular bone that forms the posterior part of the shoulder girdle. Provides attachment for numerous muscles and articulates with the clavicle and humerus. |
| 임상적 의의 | Odontoid fractures are common cervical spine injuries, especially in elderly patients. Hangman's fracture involves bilateral pars interarticularis fractures of C2. Atlantoaxial instability occurs in rheumatoid arthritis and Down syndrome. | Scapular fractures typically result from high-energy trauma and are often associated with thoracic injuries. Scapular winging occurs with long thoracic nerve palsy. The acromion process can impinge on the rotator … |
