  • The Anklyosed Spine: Fractures in DISH and Anklyosing Spondylitis
    The Anklyosed Spine: Fractures in DISH and Anklyosing Spondylitis Lee F. Rogers, MD ACCR, Oct 26, 2012 Dallas, Texas Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are the most common diseases associated with spinal ankylosis. While they share the characteristic of ankylosis they are, in fact two separate diseases with distinct clinical, pathologic, and radiologic features. DISH: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis is a disease of older persons characterized by extensive ossification of the paraspinal ligaments anteriorly and laterally, bridging the intervening disc spaces. Bony bridging may be continuous or discontinuous. The anterior cortex of the vertebral body can be seen within the ossification. These findings are much more pronounced in the thoracic and lower cervical spine than in the lumbar area. Minor expressions of this disorder are commonly encountered in the mid-dorsal spine on lateral views of the chest. DISH characteristically spares the SI joints. The SI joints remain patent and clearly visible on radiographs or CT even in the presence of extensive disease in the thoracolumbar and cervical spine. DISH is also characterized by enthesopathy; ossification of ligaments or tendon insertions, forming so-called entheses. These appear as whiskering of the iliac crest, ischial tuberosites and greater trochanters. The radiographic appearance bears a superficial resemblance to that of AS. In DISH the spinal ossification is very irregular and unlike the thin, vertical syndesmophytes see in AS. The relative absence of changes in the lumbosacral spine, the patency of the SI joints, and absence of ankylosis of the facet and costovertebral joints should allow differentiation of DISH from AS.

Neurosurgery, Seattle Science Foundation Corresponding author: Erfanul Saker, [email protected] Abstract Few studies have examined the costovertebral joint and its ligaments in detail. Therefore, the following review was performed to better elucidate their anatomy, function and involvement in pathology. Standard search engines were used to find studies concerning the costovertebral joints and ligaments. These often- overlooked ligaments of the body serve important functions in maintaining appropriate alignment between the ribs and spine. With an increasing interest in minimally invasive approaches to the thoracic spine and an improved understanding of the function and innervation of these ligaments, surgeons and clinicians should have a good working knowledge of these structures. Categories: Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Rheumatology Keywords: costovertebral joint, spine, anatomy, thoracic Introduction And Background The costovertebral joint ligaments are relatively unknown and frequently overlooked anatomical structures [1]. Although small and short in size, they are abundant, comprising 108 costovertebral ligaments in the normal human thoracic spine, and they are essential to its stability and function [2-3].

The following bony prominences can usually be palpated in the living subject (corresponding vertebral levels are given in brackets): •◊◊superior angle of the scapula (T2); •◊◊upper border of the manubrium sterni, the suprasternal notch (T2/3); •◊◊spine of the scapula (T3); •◊◊sternal angle (of Louis) — the transverse ridge at the manubrio-sternal junction (T4/5); •◊◊inferior angle of scapula (T8); •◊◊xiphisternal joint (T9); •◊◊lowest part of costal margin—10th rib (the subcostal line passes through L3). Note from Fig. 1 that the manubrium corresponds to the 3rd and 4th thoracic vertebrae and overlies the aortic arch, and that the sternum corre- sponds to the 5th to 8th vertebrae and neatly overlies the heart. Since the 1st and 12th ribs are difficult to feel, the ribs should be enu- merated from the 2nd costal cartilage, which articulates with the sternum at the angle of Louis. The spinous processes of all the thoracic vertebrae can be palpated in the midline posteriorly, but it should be remembered that the first spinous process that can be felt is that of C7 (the vertebra prominens). The position of the nipple varies considerably in the female, but in the male it usually lies in the 4th intercostal space about 4in (10cm) from the midline.

  • The Effects of Aging on the Material Properties of Human Costal Cartilage
    The Effects of Aging on the Material Properties of Human Costal Cartilage A. G. Lau1, J. M. Mattice1, D. Murakami2, M. L. Oyen1, and R. W. Kent1 1 University of Virginia; 2Nissan Motor Corporation ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanical properties of the aging thorax is important in the development of restraint systems to protect the older population. This study investigated how the material properties of costal cartilage change with age. Indentation testing was used to study the material properties of human costal cartilage. Ribcages were obtained from 11 human subjects ranging in age from 23 to 77 years. Costal cartilage from the second, third, and fourth left ribs were excised and prepared into 6 mm thick cross sections. The cross sections were tested using spherical indentation with a ramp-hold relaxation test. Shear and elastic moduli were calculated from the stress relaxation response. The results showed only a slight trend of increasing costal cartilage stiffness with age and there was a larger overall standard deviation in the older specimen values. Differences were observed during specimen preparation which included changes in color, increasing inhomogeneity, and varying regions of calcification. Calcification was observed as shells surrounding the softer cartilage, as well as calcified strata running transversely through the interior of the cartilage. These regions should affect the overall mechanical response during thoracic loading, but were not as apparent in the results of the current study because the indentation area was localized near the center of the cartilage cross sections. 1 This paper has not been peer- reviewed and should not be referenced in open literature.

  • Chapter 21 Fractures of the Upper Thoracic Spine: Approaches and Surgical Management
    Chapter 21 Fractures of the Upper Thoracic Spine: Approaches and Surgical Management Sean D Christie, M.D., John Song, M.D., and Richard G Fessler, M.D., Ph.D. INTRODUCTION Fractures occurring in the thoracic region account for approximately 17 to 23% of all traumatic spinal fractures (1), with 22% of traumatic spinal fractures occurring between T1 and T4 (16). More than half of these fractures result in neurological injury, and almost three-quarters of those impaired suffer from complete paralysis. Obtaining surgical access to the anterior vertebral elements of the upper thoracic vertebrae (T1–T6) presents a unique anatomic challenge. The thoracic cage, which narrows significantly as it approaches the thoracic inlet, has an intimate association between the vertebral column and the superior mediastinal structures. The supraclavicular, transmanubrial, transthoracic, and lateral parascapular extrapleural approaches each provide access to the anterior vertebral elements of the upper thoracic vertebrae. However, each of these approaches has distinct advantages and disadvantages and their use should be tailored to each individual patient’s situation. This chapter reviews these surgical approaches. Traditional posterior approaches are illustrated in Figure 21.1, but will not be discussed in depth here. ANATOMIC CONSIDERATIONS AND STABILITY The upper thoracic spine possesses unique anatomic and biomechanical properties. The anterior aspects of the vertebral bodies are smaller than the posterior aspects, which contribute to the physiological kyphosis present in this region of the spine. Furthermore, this orientation results in a ventrally positioned axis of rotation, predisposing this region to compression injuries. The combination and interaction of the vertebral bodies, ribs, and sternum increase the inherent biomechanical stability of this segment of the spine to 2 to 3 times that of the thoracolumbar junction.

  • The Influence of the Rib Cage on the Static and Dynamic Stability
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The infuence of the rib cage on the static and dynamic stability responses of the scoliotic spine Shaowei Jia1,2, Liying Lin3, Hufei Yang2, Jie Fan2, Shunxin Zhang2 & Li Han3* The thoracic cage plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the thoracolumbar spine. In this study, the infuence of a rib cage on static and dynamic responses in normal and scoliotic spines was investigated. Four spinal fnite element (FE) models (T1–S), representing a normal spine with rib cage (N1), normal spine without rib cage (N2), a scoliotic spine with rib cage (S1) and a scoliotic spine without rib cage (S2), were established based on computed tomography (CT) images, and static, modal, and steady-state analyses were conducted. In S2, the Von Mises stress (VMS) was clearly decreased compared to S1 for four bending loadings. N2 and N1 showed a similar VMS to each other, and there was a signifcant increase in axial compression in N2 and S2 compared to N1 and S1, respectively. The U magnitude values of N2 and S2 were higher than in N1 and S1 for fve loadings, respectively. The resonant frequencies of N2 and S2 were lower than those in N1 and S1, respectively. In steady-state analysis, maximum amplitudes of vibration for N2 and S2 were signifcantly larger than N1 and S1, respectively. This study has revealed that the rib cage improves spinal stability in vibrating environments and contributes to stability in scoliotic spines under static and dynamic loadings. Scoliosis, a three-dimensional deformity, prevents healthy development.

  • Rib Cartilage Injuries
    PHYSIO4ALL revitalise – bounce – be healthy Rib Cartilage Injuries Structure of the ribcage The ribcage supports the upper body, protects internal organs including the heart and lungs, and assists with breathing. It consists of 24 curved ribs arranged in 12 pairs. Each pair is attached to a vertebra in the spine. At the front of the body, the first seven pairs of ribs are attached directly to the sternum (breastbone) by cartilage known as costal cartilage. These ribs are often called ‘true ribs’. The next three pairs aren’t connected to the sternum. Instead, costal cartilage attaches these ‘false ribs’ to the last pair of true ribs. The remaining two pairs aren’t attached at the front of the body at all and are known as ‘floating ribs’. The ribcage is supported by ligaments and muscles, including the muscles between the ribs (intercostal muscles). These muscles allow the ribcage to expand when you breathe in, and drop when you breathe out. Rib injuries include bruises, torn cartilage and bone fractures.
