The authors report an unusual case of a 15-year-old boy who dove into a shallow lake and suffered a cervical fracture of C5 affecting the spinal cord. This resulted in tetraplegia. Vitamin D3 deficiency and a history of several bone fractures supported an idea that the patient's bone structure had been weakened. The deep vein thrombosis of lower limb and neurogenic heterotopic ossification of a hip limited the effectiveness of physical therapy.
