A lateral lumbar radiograph demonstrating compression fracturs of the second and fourth lumbar vertebral bodies with no apparent fracture of the posterior elements of the spine.

Linear Skull fracture of the parietal bone. Linear fractures appear as straight, sharply defined, nonbranching lines and are intensely radiolucent. Up to 80% of all skull fractures are linear fractures.
