Jugular notch – concave notches on either side of the superior aspect of the manubrium, for articulation with the clavicles. Corpus or body – flat, rectangular bone making up the major portion of the sternum. The lateral aspects contain the notches for the true ribs, called the costal notches. Xiphoid process – variably shaped bone found at the inferior aspect of the corpus. Process may fuse late in life to the corpus. Clavicle Sternal end – rounded end, articulates with manubrium. Acromial end – flat end, articulates with scapula. Conoid tuberosity – muscle attachment located on the inferior aspect of the shaft, pointing posteriorly.

  • Ischaemic Lumbosacral Plexopathy in Acute Vascular Compromise:Case Report
    Parapkgia 29 (1991) 70-75 © 1991 International Medical Soci<ty of Paraplegia Paraplegia L-_________________________________________________ � Ischaemic Lumbosacral Plexopathy in Acute Vascular Compromise: Case Report D.X. Cifu, MD, K.D. Irani, MD Department of Physical Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. Summary Anterior spinal artery syndrome (ASAS) is a well reported cause of spinal cord injury (SCI) following thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. The resultant deficits are often incom­ plete, typically attributed to the variable nature of the vascular distribution. Our Physi­ cal Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM and Rehabilitation) service was consulted about a 36-year-old patient with generalised deconditioning, 3 months after a stab wound to the left ventricle. Physical examination revealed marked lower extremity weakness, hypo­ tonia, hyporeflexia, and a functioning bowel and bladder. Further questioning disclosed lower extremity dysesthesias. Nerve conduction studies showed slowed velocities, pro­ longed distal latencies and decreased amplitudes of all lower extremity nerves. Electro­ myography revealed denervation of all proximal and distal lower extremity musculature, with normal paraspinalis. Upper extremity studies were normal. Recently, 3 cases of ischaemic lumbosacral plexopathy, mimicking an incomplete SCI, have been reported. This distinction is particularly difficult in the poly trauma patient with multiple musculo­ skeletal injuries or prolonged recuperation time, in addition to a vascular insult, as in this patient. The involved anatomical considerations will be discussed. A review of the elec­ trodiagnostic data from 30 patients, with lower extremity weakness following acute ischaemia, revealed a 20% incidence of spinal cord compromise, but no evidence of a plexopathy. Key words: Ischaemia; Lumbosacral plexopathy; Electromyography. Recent advances in cardiovascular and trauma surgery have led to increased survi­ val of patients following cardiac and great vessel trauma or insult.

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.

Lumbar disc degeneration is defined as the wear and tear of lumbar intervertebral disc, and it is mainly occurring at L3-L4 and L4-S1 vertebrae. Lumbar disc degeneration may lead to disc bulging, osteophytes, loss of disc space, and compression and irritation of the adjacent nerve root. Clinical presentations associated with lumbar disc degeneration and lumbosacral nerve lesion are discogenic pain, radical pain, muscular weakness, and cutaneous. Discogenic pain is usually felt in the lumbar region, or sometimes, it may feel in the buttocks, down to the upper thighs, and it is typically presented with sudden forced flexion and/or rotational moment. Radical pain, muscular weakness, and sensory defects associated with lumbosacral nerve lesions are distributed on

  • 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 Spinal Nerves That Constitute the Plexus Lumbosacrales of Porcupines (Hystrix Cristata)
    Original Paper Veterinarni Medicina, 54, 2009 (4): 194–197 The spinal nerves that constitute the plexus lumbosacrales of porcupines (Hystrix cristata) A. Aydin, G. Dinc, S. Yilmaz Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Firat University, Elazig, Turkey ABSTRACT: In this study, the spinal nerves that constitute the plexus lumbosacrales of porcupines (Hystrix cristata) were investigated. Four porcupines (two males and two females) were used in this work. Animals were appropriately dissected and the spinal nerves that constitute the plexus lumbosacrales were examined. It was found that the plexus lumbosacrales of the porcupines was formed by whole rami ventralis of L1, L2, L3, L4, S1 and a fine branch from T15 and S2. The rami ventralis of T15 and S2 were divided into two branches. The caudal branch of T15 and cranial branch of S2 contributed to the plexus lumbosacrales. At the last part of the plexus lumbosacrales, a thick branch was formed by contributions from the whole of L4 and S1, and a branch from each of L3 and S2. This root gives rise to the nerve branches which are disseminated to the posterior legs (caudal glu- teal nerve, caudal cutaneous femoral nerve, ischiadic nerve). Thus, the origins of spinal nerves that constitute the plexus lumbosacrales of porcupine differ from rodantia and other mammals.
