Excerpt from American Medicine, Vol. 13: January-December, 1907 Case I. - Fracture of the sixth cervical verte bra with marked deformity and crepitus but no paralysis. Recovery. The patient is J. F., white, male, aged 66; a man of intelligence and the captain of a vessel. Family history is negative. The patient states that he was ascending a ladder, using only one hand, having a bundle in the other the foot of the ladder rested against the wharf, the upper end against the rail of the vessel. He had just reached the rail of the vessel when the ladder slipped and he fell a distance of about 23 feet, striking on his neck and shoulders. He was rendered unconscious and remained so for about so minutes; he was taken aboard the ship, where he remained throughout the night in great pain, and unable to move his head at all; he stated that there was a swelling as large as an orange at the site of the injury, over the sixth cervical vertebra, the paingwas so great that he tried to move his arms and shoulders in order to relieve it and in doing so he felt, and heard a decided snap, as if he had restored a bone that had been out of place. After this he felt somewhat easier, the pain not being so great. The next morning he was carried to a hospital in Baltimore where he remained under treatment for 22 days. As he did not think he was improving he left the hospital of his own accord. N o attempt was made to reduce the fracture at this time, so it is presumed the proper diagnosis was not made, though he was unable to raise his chin from his chest or move his head at all. After leaving the hospital, he had no medical attention for three months. He was admitted to the Marine Hospital March 2 9.
