Distraction of Lumbar Vertebrae in Gravitational Traction

Spine, 1998
Experimental study of 30 patients diagnosed with low back pain resulting from lumbar disc herniation, disc degeneration, and segmental instability. Patients underwent gravitational traction, and widening of the intervertebral space and posterior facets was measured on radiographs. This same procedure was performed with a group of 30 healthy individuals.

Osteopenia with Fractures of Lumbar Vertebrae

JAMA, 1963
Dr. W. H. Harris: A 78-yr-old female was admitted to the Phillips House complaining of pain in her back of approximately 10 days duration. Her significant medical history dated back 1 yr, at which time she sustained a right femoral neck fracture. A hip nailing was carried out at that time with the complication of wound sepsis.

The prevalence of transitional vertebrae in the lumbar spine

The Spine Journal, 2011
Lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTVs) are a congenital vertebral anomaly of the L5-S1 junction in the spine. This alteration may contribute to incorrect identification of a vertebral segment, leading to wrong-level spine surgery and poor correlation with clinical symptoms.

The Cervical and Lumbar Vertebrae — An Anthropometric Model

Engineering in Medicine, 1984
An anthropometric model for human vertebrae in the mid-sagital plane is described, using parameters which were measured from lateral X-rays of the cervical and lumbar regions in normal, healthy men. The data was processed statistically and results are presented. The findings reported are new in the literature.

Hypercalcemia and Collapse of First Lumbar Vertebra

JAMA, 1963
Dr. W. Harris: This month and next month we would like to present two contrasting cases of lumbar vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women. A 59-yr-old white female was admitted to the Phillips House with a diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism with impending acute parathyroid poisoning. The patient had been in good health until 11 moprior to admission,

Benign fibrous histiocytoma of the lumbar vertebrae

Skeletal Radiology, 2008
Benign fibrous histiocytoma is an extremely rare spinal tumor with ten reported cases in the literature. Benign fibrous histiocytoma constitutes a diagnostic challenge because it shares common clinical symptoms, radiological characteristics, and histological features with other benign lesions involving the spine.

Ten percent of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have variations in the number of thoracic or lumbar vertebrae.

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2013
BACKGROUND Surveys have demonstrated that wrong-site surgery of the spine is performed by up to 50% of spine surgeons over the course of a career. Inaccurate identification of appropriate vertebral levels is a common reason for wrong-site spine surgery ...

Burst Fractures of the Fifth Lumbar Vertebra

Spine, 1993
Eleven patients with burst fractures of the fifth lumbar vertebra were reviewed. The results of nonoperative treatment were compared with that of immediate surgery and stabilization with pedicle screw fixation. Five patients were treated nonoperatively and six patients underwent pedicle screw instrumentation and spinal fusion.

Osteosarcoma in adjacent lumbar vertebrae in a dog

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2000
An 8-year-old male Belgian Malinois was referred for evaluation of progressive caudal paresis of 2 to 3 weeks' duration. Radiography revealed a mottled appearance to the body of L4 and misshapen intervertebral foramen at L4-L5. Myelography revealed that the dye column terminated within the body of L4.

Anatomical measurements of porcine lumbar vertebrae

Clinical Biomechanics, 2007
Porcine spines are frequently used as an alternative to human specimens for spinal implant testing. Morphometric data of the normal porcine lumbar vertebrae are lacking at this time, yet these data are crucial for application to such studies. This study provides such a database and highlights the differences between porcine and human specimens.All the ...
