So sorry for your wife's injuries. Glad she's not feeling worse. From the looks of the X-ray she has had some previous injuries to her neck. Could have been from years ago. The lipping and spurring present on the anterior portion of C4-C6 has been there awhile. There is also a great deal of disc degeneration between those same vertebrae. Not completely sure without seeing the film up close but with the calcification present around the fractured area it may be an old fracture that was re aggravated in the accident. It also looks like the anterior/inferior (beak)portion of C4 was fractured probably from the head being thrown forward. It's amazing she is not in worse pain. Lord was watching over her.
