Computed Tomography of Spinal Fractures

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1979
Computed tomography (CT) has aided significantly in the diagnosis and management of spinal fractures. The examination is easy, relatively quick, and avoids potentially harmful manipulation. The diagnostic advantages of CT include precise anatomic delineation and indication of extent of fractures, assessment of spinal stenosis, and demonstration of ...

Spine stereotactic body radiotherapy for renal cell cancer spinal metastases: analysis of outcomes and risk of vertebral compression fracture.

Journal of Neurosurgery : Spine, 2014
OBJECT The aim of this study was to evaluate local control (LC) and the risk of vertebral compression fracture (VCF) after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with renal cell cancer spinal metastases.

Best practice determination of timing of spinal fracture fixation as defined by analysis of the National Trauma Data Bank.

Journal of Trauma, 2008
BACKGROUND To examine the efficacy of early versus late spinal fracture fixation, we reviewed National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) records to identify the breakpoint in reported timing of operative fixation. Using this breakpoint we then analyzed outcome for

Spinal Fractures in Adults

2016
Traumatic spinal fractures typically occur in younger patients generally following a high-energy motor vehicle accidents or falls. In a poly-traumatized patient, the precise mechanism of a complex spinal injury may be difficult to elicit, but recognition of a fracture pattern may lead the radiologist to infer the likelihood of soft tissue and/or ...

MULTIPLE-LEVEL NON-CONTIGOUS SPINAL FRACTURES

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1988
Double-level noncontiguous spinal injury is a more common occurrence than generally appreciated. A large number of these patients have neurological injury. Because these injuries occur in patients who meet the criteria for categorization as multiple trauma patients, we feel that a complete radiographic survey of the spine must be accomplished in the ...

Spinal fractures in patients with ankylosing spondylitis

Rheumatology International, 2016
The ankylosed spine is prone to fracture even after minor trauma due to its changed biomechanical properties. The two central features of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) that promote the pathological remodeling of the spine are inflammation and new bone formation.

Spinal cord injury, spinal fracture, and spinal stenosis in ankylosing spondylitis

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1982
✓ The authors report a retrospective review of 105 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) diagnosed over a 6-year period in Tucson, Arizona. In the series, there were 13 patients with spinal fracture and eight with severe spinal cord injury. Two patients with central cord contusion had no demonstrable cervical spine fracture.

Relationship of osteophytes to bone mineral density and spinal fracture in men.

Radiology, 1993
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship of spinal osteophytes to vertebral bone mineral density (BMD) and to spinal fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS This relationship was investigated in 203 men. Integral BMD was measured with dual x-ray absorptiometry,

Child abuse presenting as a thoracolumbar spinal fracture dislocation: a case report.

Pediatric emergency care, 1994
A child sustained a traumatic thoracolumbar spinal fracture--dislocation with cord compression. A court confirmed the diagnosis of child abuse. There was no history of trauma, and the diagnosis of child abuse was missed by the physicians who first saw ...

Problems in Spinal Fractures

1994
Several major goals should be attained in the ideal treatment of any spinal injury. Spinal alignment must be restored by appropriate means of reduction to retain normal spinal biomechanics. This allows early painless mobility, prevents or minimizes neurological deficits, provides stability at the injured site, and prevents progressive late-occurring ...
