THORACIC vertebraeSPINEPLASTIC surgerySURGICAL complicationsOPERATIVE surgeryBackground: Myelopathy and nerve root dysfunction resulting from the imperceptible growth of intraspinal schwannomas have been well documented.[1] Thoracic spine schwannomas, in particular, have exceptional growth poten...
T10 is often chosen to allow bridging of the thoracolumbar junction into the immobile thoracic vertebrae on the basis that it is the lowest immobile thoracic vertebra strut by the rib cage. To characterize the range of motion (ROM) of each vertebral segment from T7 to S1 in order to ...
THORACIC vertebraeRANGE of motion of jointsANGLESIn healthy subjects, respiratory maximal volumes are highly dependent on the sagittal range of motion of the T7–T10 segment. In AIS, the abolition of T7–T10 dynamics related to the stiffness induced by the apex region in Lenke IA curves ...
