520 |a <p>Clay shoveler's fracture causes disruption of the spinous processes at C6 to T3 spinal vertebrae.</p><p>This is a case report of an atypical clay shoveler's fracture from Babcock university teaching Hospital ,Ogun-state, Nigeria. It involved a 62-year-old male travelling in the south-western region of Nigeria who was invloved in a Road traffic accident and presented with pain at the posterior aspect of the neck.</p><p>X-ray and 3D oriented CT scan confirmed the fractures with lateral views being the most favored.</p><p>Classical Clay shoveler's fracture usually has no neuromuscular deficit since it is a stable fracture and involves only the posterior spinal column based on the Denis classification for 3 column concept for stable and unstable fractures of the spine.</p><p>When a fracture involves the spinolaminar line it's proximity to the spinal cord and risk of neurological deficit must be adequately ruled out.</p><p>This report evaluates the mechanism of injury, treatment given and prognosis of the patient involved.</p>
