Effect of Spinal Stabilisation on Intradiscal Pressure in Cervical Spine

چکیده
Introduction The aim of this work was analysis of the stabilisation influence on intradiscal pressure. The investigations were focused on the cervical region of spine, because this is a very common site for injury. It is caused of relatively big range and significant frequency of movements. Some of diseases need the application of the spinal fixator which changed the pressure of the adjacent region. Pressure within intervertebral discs is often analysed in single lumbar movement segment [1], rarely it is investigated in longer part of spine particularly in cervical spine [2],[4]. There is not much experiment which shows influence of the stabilisation on intradiscal pressure. In this work was investigated the changes of pressure within cadaveric nucleus pulposus of cervical intervertebral disc. The tests were made on intact and stabilised spines.

Trauma patients are at high risk of cervical and associated injuries. The standard protocol includes immobilization of the cervical spine in a polytrauma as it will help to prevent spinal injuries in the prehospital settings. Hard cervical collar (or alternatives) is routinely used until the cervical spine clearance is obtained . In patients with traumatic brain injury avoiding any kind of mane...

BACKGROUND Discography has been widely used in the lumbar and cervical spine as a diagnostic tool to identify sources of discogenic pain that may be amenable to surgical treatment. Discography in the cervical spine is currently performed without the benefit of pressure monitoring, and corresponding pressure parameters have not been determined. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to develo...

BACKGROUND Finite element analysis results will show significant differences if the model used is performed under various material properties, geometries, loading modes or other conditions. This study adopted an FE model, taking into account the possible asymmetry inherently existing in the spine with respect to the sagittal plane, with a more geometrically realistic outline to analyze and comp...

Study Design In vitro testing. Objective To determine whether long cervical and cervicothoracic fusions increase the intradiscal pressure at the adjacent caudal disk and to determine which thoracic end vertebra causes the least increase in the adjacent-level intradiscal pressure. Methods A bending moment was applied to six cadaveric cervicothoracic spine specimens with intact rib cages. Intradi...
