Closure of the neuro‐central synchondrosis and other physes in foal cervical spines
Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 217-231, January 2025.Abstract Background The neuro‐central synchondrosis (NCS) is a physis responsible for the growth of the dorsal third of the vertebral body and neural arches. When the NCS of pigs is tethered to model scoliosis, stenosis also ensues. It is necessary to describe the NCS for future evaluation of its potential role in equine spinal cord compression and ...
