Study Design. This case illustrates complications to a vertebral artery injury (VAI) resulting from penetrating cervical spine trauma. Objectives. To discuss the management of both VAI and cervical spine trauma after penetrating gunshot wound to the neck. Summary of Background Data. Vertebral artery injury following cervical spine trauma is infrequent, and a unilateral VAI often occurs without ...

Penetrating injuries to the spine, although less common than motor vehicle accidents and falls, are important causes of injury to the spinal cord. They are essentially of two varieties: gunshot or stab wounds. Gunshot injuries to the spine are more commonly described. Stab wounds are usually inflicted by knife or other sharp objects. Rarer objects causing incidental spinal injuries include glas...

perosomus elumbis is an occasional congenital anomaly ofcattle, swine, sheep, and dogs with unknown etiology. thiscongenital abnormality occurs in both sexes. a dead holsteincalf characterized by musculoskeletal and external genitaliaabnormalities was referred to the large animal hospital ofuniversity of tehran. radiographic evaluation and subsequentdissection revealed that the vertebral column...

Study Design Case series. Objective We report the unusual occurrence of vertebral artery injury (VAI) during routine posterior exposure of the cervical spine. The importance of preoperative planning to identify the course of the bilateral vertebral arteries during routine posterior cervical spine surgery is emphasized. Methods VAI is a rare but potentially devastating complication of cervical s...

 It has been reported that fractures are more common in epileptic patients relative to the general population. Seizures by repeated muscular contractions can increase fracture risk throughout the skeleton, but the reported papers about non traumatic vertebral fractures following a single episode of seizure are rare and mostly located in thoracic spine with only one or two vertebral fr...

background & importance: spinal deformity is one of the most common disorders among the vertebral diseases that results from unnatural curvatures of spine, such as scoliosis and kyphosis. spinal fusion surgery used most commonly to treat certain types of spinal deformity. here in, we report the efficacy of posterior spinal fusion accompanied by instrumentation in patients with the limitations o...

STUDY DESIGN Case control study. PURPOSE To examine the effect of spino-pelvic sagittal parameters and back muscles on osteoporotic vertebral fracture. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Low bone mass is not the only important component of the risk on osteoporotic vertebral fracture; many other risk factors also contribute to skeletal fragility. METHODS Seventy-two patients who had a lateral radiogra...

The aim of this study was to know issue the relationship between mandibular asymmetry and body posture. literatures posture published in last 10 years (2012-2022) which were collected from electronic databases PubMed Google Scholar. data obtained anaylized using observational, prospective, retrospective, case reports, systematic reviews meta-analyses, showed that there is a themandibular C2-3 w...

Lower spinal structure correlates well with positional behavior among mammals. Nonetheless, the functional morphology of the axial post-crania of australopithecines has received less attention than their appendicular skeletons. This paper presents a detailed description and comparative morphometric analysis of the australopithecine thoracolumbar vertebral series Stw-H8/H41, and examines spinal ...
