Illustrations of example injuries that would fall into the compression morphologic category of the Subaxial Injury Classification and Severity Scale. (A) Simple compression fracture, (B) simple nondisplaced superior articulating process fracture, (C) spinous process fractures, (D) lateral mass fracture. (E) An example burst fracture with or without retropulsion would be placed into the burst morphologic category. Dotted lines represent fracture lines.
