Historically, the appearance of the spine was related to increased mobility and speed in water. The loss of the flexibility that the chorda had provided was compensated for by the greater elasticity and strength of the spine, properties important for the functioning of the truncal musculature. Th...
However, her pain was not subsiding and hence an MRI spine was performed. It revealed spinal stenosis and abnormal signal in the lower thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. Hence a bone biopsy was performed that came back as metastatic adenocarcinoma. She underwent a bone scan and revealed diffuse ...
When surgery of any kind is considered on a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, flexion and extension films of the cervical spine are needed to assess cervical spine stability, especially at the C1-C2 level, given the high incidence of atlantoaxial instability in this patient group. Surgical Treatme...
She had previously seen an orthopedist and was referred to a neurosurgeon for surgical intervention after an MRI of the cervical spine showed the C3–C4 right vertebral artery loop protruding into the right C3–C4 neural foramen and compressing the exiting C4 nerve root. MR neurography showed a ...
(2018). Distraction and focus shifting therapy was administered via commercial games for a range of conditions including Subacrominal Impimgiment Syndrome (SIAS) (Pekyavas and Ergun, 2017) and in trials with variety of conditions such as cervical spine pain, lumbar spine pain, hip pain and ...

This superior approach either detaches the trapezius from its insertion along the scapular spine or uses muscle-splitting. Superior access to the transverse scapular notch is technically difficult because the operative field is relatively narrow and deep and the SSN is as small as 1 mm in diameter...
Bone metastasis usually occurs mostly in spine, but also in extremities, rib cage and pelvic bones. Here we present a case differentiated thyroid cancer diagnosed with scapular bone metastasis.Clinical Case A 58-year-old male patient had pain on his left scapula that began a year ago. The ...
C5 palsy (C5P) is a relatively common and debilitating postoperative spine complication. Although some prognostic factors have been identified helping to predict which patients may recover, controversy persists. As one of the most proximal nerve branches emanating from the C5 nerve root, the dorsal ...
