Vertebral disorders have significant health and economic impacts, due to aging current lifestyle habits, there is a trend toward their increase. Obesity the alignment of vertebral curvatures can be associated with back pain. Objective: This study aims analyze whether general abdominal obesity are cervical, dorsal, lumbar pain as well increased or decreased values curvatures. Methodology: Body c...

Purpose: A retrospective study to evaluate various MR imaging spectrums of clinically diagnosed cases Hirayama disease. Materials and Method: This included a review images 13 patients on the hospital information system who underwent evaluation for suspected disease 3 Tesla MRI scanner in postcontrast neutral flexion positions. Images were evaluated following findings: Localised lower cervical c...

BACKGROUND Cervical facet dislocation is the anterior displacement of one cervical vertebral body on another. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of skull traction through an anterior cervical approach in the treatment of severe lower cervical facet dislocation without vertebral body fracture. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty subjects with severe lower cervical facet dislocati...

The predictive factors associated with neck pain remain unclear. We conducted a cross-sectional study to assess predictive factors, especially Modic changes (MCs), associated with the intensity and duration of neck pain in patients with cervical disc degenerative disease.We retrospectively reviewed patients in our hospital from January 2013 to December 2016. Severe neck pain (SNP) and persisten...

STUDY DESIGN Biomechanical analysis of a novel prosthesis based on the physiological curvature of endplate was performed. OBJECTIVE To compare the biomechanical differences between a novel prosthesis based on the physiological curvature of the endplate and the Prestige LP prosthesis after cervical disc replacement (CDR). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Artificial disc prostheses have been widely...

OBJECTIVE Cervical laminoplasty has been widely accepted as one of the major treatments for cervical myelopathy and various modifications and supplementary procedures have been devised to achieve both proper decompression and stability of the cervical spine. We present the retrospectively analyzed results of a modified unilateral open-door laminoplasty using hydroxyapatite (HA) spacers and mall...

Rationals for total disc replacement Dynamic reconstruction of a degenerative “functional spinal unit” (FSU) is a rapidly growing field in spinal surgery. So far anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), first described by Smith and Robinson and by Cloward in the 1950s, is the most common surgical procedure proven successful in the treatment of symptoms caused by cervical degenerative dis...

Neck pain and headaches are the two most common symptoms of whiplash. The working hypothesis is that pain originates from excessive motions in the upper and lower cervical segments. The research design used an intact human cadaver head-neck complex as an experimental model. The intact head-neck preparation was fixed at the thoracic end with the head unconstrained. Retroreflective targets were p...
