Substantial vertebral body osteophytes protect against severe vertebral fractures in compression
Recent findings suggest that vertebral osteophytes increase the resistance of the spine to compression. However, the role of vertebral osteophytes on the biomechanical response of the spine under fast dynamic compression, up to failure, is unclear. Seventeen human spine specimens composed of three vertebrae (from T5-T7 to T11-L1) and their surrounding soft tissues were harvested from nine cadav...

متن کاملGaucher disease presenting with vertebral compression fractures and vertebral osteonecrosis.
A 42-year-old man with no relevant medical history complaining of spontaneous thoracolumbar back pain was referred for an MRI of the spine after initial radiographic evaluation had demonstrated several compression fractures. In addition to confirming the dorsal and lumbar compression fractures and some degenerative changes, the MRI demonstrated multifocal bone marrow anomalies with well-defined...
متن کاملDiagnosis and treatment of vertebral compression fractures.
A healthy spine is an integral part of an individual's overall well-being. The spinal column's essential role in physiological and neurological function can be compromised when disease or trauma causes a vertebra to compress under the body's weight, producing a vertebral compression fracture. This is a common ailment among adults older than 65 years of age, especially for those with low bone ma...
