Introduction: Cervical hyperextension is rarely seen, there has been a paucity of data on the association of this condition in the published literature. The current case is even rarer, because it presented not only a cervical hyperextension but also a scoliotic curve involving C1-T5. Materials and methods: This article presents a case of cervical hyperextension and scoliosis in a 19-year-old pa...

Hyperextension injury in the thoracic spine is uncommon with only a few cases documented in the literature. The mechanism of these injuries is hyperextension combined with axial or shearing force. These types of injuries are associated with a high risk of dural tears and paraplegia. A 91-year-old female presented with acute back pain from a hyperextension injury in thoracic spine with no neurol...

Little has been written about hyperextension injuries in comparison with other mechanisms of’ injury to the spine. Probably the explanation for this is that in the cervical spine hyperextension injuries are much more difficult to diagnose radiologically, and in consequence proportionately fewer of these injuries are diagnosed by surgeons and radiologists than are flexion and vertical compressio...

etal malposition due to persistent hyperextension of the lumbar spine (hyperlordosis) has only very rarely been reported.1 A literature research (key words: hyperlordosis, hyperextension, lumbar spine, opisthotonus, and prenatal) revealed only 1 published case with prenatal diagnosis.2 We describe a case detected by routine prenatal screening, review the literature, and discuss possible etiolog...

Shortening of the deep digital flexor tendon was performed by tenotomy, overlapping and anastomosis. The procedure was performed on a two-year-old Quarter Horse Mare with distal interphalangeal joint hyperextension with subluxation and metatarsophalangeal joint hyperextension. These problems originated from damage to the digital flexor tendons, presumably due to previous distal limb trauma. The...

The effect of correction of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint hyperextension on the outcome of reconstructive surgery for basal joint osteoarthritis of the thumb was studied. Impairment, pain and satisfaction were similar after a combined surgical treatment of MCP hyperextension and basal thumb osteoarthritis in 33 patients, as in a series of 233 patients at the same institution after osteoarthri...

We present an unusual case of a primary lumbar disk-space mass that presumably developed secondary to a chronic hyperextension spinal fracture associated with spinal stenosis. This injury resulted in the appearance of a lumbar intervertebral disk-space mass or pseudotumor. The pseudotumor most likely resulted from a prior spinal fracture, leading to a fused hyperextension deformity in a patient...
