A compression fracture is a collapse of a vertebra.It may be due to trauma or due to a weakening of the vertebra (compare with burst fracture).This weakening is seen in patients with osteoporosis or osteogenesis imperfecta, lytic lesions from metastatic or primary tumors, [1] or infection. [2]
Spinal cord compression is a form of myelopathy in which the spinal cord is compressed. Causes can be bone fragments from a vertebral fracture, a tumor , abscess , ruptured intervertebral disc or other lesion.
The thoracic spinal nerve 11 (T11) is a spinal nerve of the thoracic segment. [1] It originates from the spinal column from below the thoracic vertebra 11 (T11).
Traumatic SCI can result in contusion, compression, or stretch injury. [5] It is a major risk of many types of vertebral fracture. [70] Pre-existing asymptomatic congenital anomalies can cause major neurological deficits, such as hemiparesis, to result from otherwise minor trauma. [71]
Burst fracture – in which a vertebra breaks from a high-energy axial load; Compression fracture – a collapse of a vertebra, often resulting in the form of a wedge-shape due to larger compression anteriorly; Chance fracture – compression injury to the anterior portion of a vertebral body with concomitant distraction injury to posterior ...
The fracture is often unstable. [1] Treatment may be conservative with the use of a brace or via surgery. [1] The fracture is currently rare. [7] It was first described by G. Q. Chance, a radiologist from Manchester, UK, in 1948. [3] [13] The fracture was more common in the 1950s and 1960s before shoulder harnesses became common. [3] [5]
In vertebrates, thoracic vertebrae compose the middle segment of the vertebral column, between the cervical vertebrae and the lumbar vertebrae. [1] In humans, there are twelve thoracic vertebrae of intermediate size between the cervical and lumbar vertebrae; they increase in size going towards the lumbar vertebrae.
Schmorl's nodes are fairly common, especially with minor degeneration of the aging spine, but they are also seen in younger spines. Schmorl's nodes often cause no symptoms, but may simply reflect that "wear and tear" of the spine has occurred over time; they may also reflect that bone strength was at one time somewhat compromised, perhaps due to a vitamin D deficiency although this has yet to ...
