The thoracic spine manifests degenerative changes from aging, obesity, repetitive strain and occupational stress, although sex differences are poorly understood. In this work we examine whether differences in the expression of thoracic degenerative joint changes can be found in females ...
Degenerative changes may lead to calcification of the disc. These changes most commonly involve the annulus fibrosus and are frequently located in the lower thoracic spine [19] (Fig.7c). B-changes: annulus fibrosus, end plates and bone marrow Annular fissures Each annulus fibrosus comprises 15–...
There are the cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine, sacrum and coccyx sections. The thoracic part of the spine consists of 12 bones.Answer and Explanation: Thoracic degenerative disease affects the part of the spine that corresponds to the middle of the back. It is the longest part of the spine...
Degenerative spondylolisthesis is common in the lumbar spine and rarely occurs in the cervical spine2, 5). But there was no report of degenerative spondylolisthesis in thoracic spine. The authors experienced a case of degenerative spondylolisthesis in the thoracic spine. And we achieved a satisfactory...
BACKGROUND:Patients with athetoid and dystonic cerebral palsy (ADCP) may develop degenerative changes in the cervical spine that can aggravate their neurological symptoms in adulthood. This report is of 2 cases of ADCP associated with degenerative cervic
spine disease. We then describe changes of disc height, signal intensity, and disc contour with aging and repeatedmicrotrauma, as well as theimaging techniquesmost appropriate to image them. A grading system forlumbar discchanges is provided.Stenosisof the canal and neural foramina is reviewed next...
Kyphosis is an abnormal forward rounding (more than 50 degrees of curvature) of the spine. In the upper (thoracic) back, kyphosis is commonly due to osteoporotic compression fractures. It can also occur in the lower (lumbar) spine. It limits function and results in a common complaint among ...
aA 48-year old patient suffered from pain in the scapular area and the thoracic spine. Comprehensive medical and orthopedic examination was done. With the exception of local muscular tension and mild degenerative changes in the thoracic vertebrae, no other pathological changes were detected. Physiother...

you can see how degenerative changes cause an imbalance of the spine, resulting in a forward placement of gravity towards the hips (red circles). This could help explain the progression to hip arthritis with disc degeneration, as the entire body tries to compensate for spinal stiffens and muscl...
