Case Study 154 - Coccygeal Fracture A coccyx fracture is a partial or complete break in this area. Coccyx fractures usually result from a backwards fall or a strong blow to the tailbone. The coccyx has some flexibility to absorb shock, but excessive stress on the bone can lead to a crack or break. #sundaycasestudy #ladyspinedoc #healthcareworker #hospital #surgery #neurosurgeon #medicalschool #medstudent #medicalstudent #nursing #tailbone #coccyx | Dr. Betsy Grunch - Ladyspinedoc
