Do supine oblique views provide better imaging of the cervicothoracic junction than swimmer's views?
OBJECTIVE To determine whether a swimmer's view or supine (trauma) oblique views are more likely to visualise the lower cervical spine when a lateral view fails to show the cervicothoracic junction. DESIGN A prospective study comparing two 20 week periods. In the first phase the swimmer's view was performed as an additional view when the cervicothoracic junction was not demonstrated. In the s...
متن کاملContralateral oblique view is superior to lateral view for interlaminar cervical and cervicothoracic epidural access.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the reliability of the lateral fluoroscopic view and several contralateral oblique (CLO) views at different angles in visualizing and accurately predicting the position of the needle tip at the point of access in the posterior cervical and cervicothoracic epidural space. DESIGN After the epidural space was accessed but before confirmation wit...
متن کاملBEST EVIDENCE TOPIC REPORTS Towards evidence based emergency medicine: Best BETs from the Manchester Royal Infirmary
A short cut review was carried out to establish whether swimmer’s views were better than superior oblique views at visualising the C7/T1 junction. Eleven papers were found using the reported search, of which one presented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results, and study weakne...
متن کاملAnterior Cervicothoracic Junction Approach
Surgical approaches to the cervicothoracic junction frequently involve complicated dissection because of the restricted accessibility during the procedure and the close proximity of the great vessels. Common indications for surgical intervention include infections, neoplasms, and fractures. Approaches described here are useful for pathologies of the difficult-to-access upper thoracic spine (T1–...
متن کاملDislocations at the cervicothoracic junction.
Dislocations of the cervicothoracic junction are frequently missed. Experience of this rare injury over 27 years at the Spinal Injuries Unit in Sheffield confirms that nearly two-thirds were not properly diagnosed on admission. Only two of the 14 dislocations studied were reduced by conservative methods and these were both associated with fractures of the posterior bony elements. Open reduction...
