greatest at T1 and L5least at T12decreases from T1 and L5 towards T12L1 approximately 5-10 degincreases ~5 deg per level from L1 down to sacrum

24
Q

T-spine pedicle screw start point

A

intersection of middle of TP and middle of inferior articular facet

25
Q

lumbar pedicle screw start point?

A

midpoint of TPmidpoint of superior articular processnb: pars lines up with medial aspect of pedicle

26
Q

upper spine largest pedicle?L-spine largest pedicle?

A

T1L5

27
Q

smallest pedicle?smallest within L-spine?

A

T4L1

28
Q

post-halo: what nerve injuries can occur?

A

basically supraorbital nerve, CN 4,6,10,11,12CN VI - abducens ncan hit it at petrosphenoidal junction. get eyes that look down and inGlossopharyngeal (4) + vagus (10) + hypoglossal (12)dysphagia, loss of palatal/pharyngeal reflexes, weakness of tonguefrom penetration of jugular foramenCN elevenaccessory nsupraorbital nerve - from anterior pins too medial

29
Q

describe pin placement for halo

A

anterolateral pins: just below head equator, 1cm above orbit, in lateral 2/3 of orbit (avoid supraorbital nerve)posterior pins - avoid temporalis muscle. Usually place just directly above ear pinna

30
Q

list the fixation options for c1-2 fusion

A

transarticular screwwiringlateral mass screw (c1) and pars screw (c2)clamp

31
Q

list the c2 fixation options

A

transarticular screw (with c1)pars screwpedicle screwtranslaminar screwclampwiring

32
Q

what is pelvic incidence?

A

fixed parameter describing the tilt of the S1 endplate relative to the centre of the acetabulumon lateral view, make line from middle of S1 endplate to centre of acetabulummake another line perpendicular to S1 endplateangle between these lines is pelvic incidenceGeometrically ends up being equal to pelvic tilt + sacral slopepelvic tilt=angle between vertical and line joining middle of S1 endplate to centre of acetabulumsacral slope=angle between s1 endplate and horizontal

33
Q

describe the spinal cord blood supply - only immediately around the cord

A

single anterior spinal arterytwo posterior spinal arteriesthey have branches that form an anastmosis/plexus around the cord - vaso corona

34
Q

what arteries feed the spinal arteries in c-spine?

A

vertebral aPICAsegmental branches

35
Q

what arteries feed the spinal arteries in the T-L spine?

A

radicular arteries

36
Q

what is the artery of adamkiewicz?

A

principle arterial suply of lower 2/3 of spinal cord - feeds the anterior and posterior spinal arteriesusually occurs on left side at T10 (between T9-11)can be between T7 and L4AKA arteria radicularis magnait is a large segmental radicular arteryenters through intervertebral foramen

37
Q

extension of ALL from C1 to skull is called what?

A

anterior atlanto-occipital membrane

38
Q

extension of PLL from C1 to skull is called what?

A

tectorial membrane

39
Q

what is ligamentum nuchae?

A

c-spine supraspinous ligament

40
Q

vertebral foramina occur in what vertebrae?through which does the vertebral artery pass?

A

C1-7artery exists in c1-6

41
Q

continuation of ligamentum flavum from C1 to skull is called what?

A

posterior atlanto-occipital membrane

42
Q

what are:basionopisthion

A

basion: anterior point on the foramen magnumopisthion: posterior point on the foramen magnum

43
Q

anterior cord syndromepresentationprognosis?

A

loss of spinothalamic and corticospinal tractsloss of pain/temp, motorworse prognosis (10% recover)

44
Q

posterior cord syndrome: presentation?

A

loss of dorsal white columnsloss of proprioception, fine touchrare

45
Q

central cord syndrome: presentation, prognosis?

A

UE weaker than LEpreserved perianal sensation75% recover

46
Q

brown-sequard syndrome: presentation, prognosis?

A

hemi-cord loss.lose contralateral pain and temp 2 levels below and ipsilateral motor90% recovery. best prognosis

47
Q

explain the ASIA scale ABCDE

A

A - complete loss below levelB: incomplete - sensory intact, but no motor below level at allc: incomplete - motor function exists below level but most are d - incomplete - motor exists below level and most have 3/5 or moree: normal neuro exam

48
Q

what is the definition of neurological level?

A

lowest (most caudal) level with intact motor AND sensory

49
Q

where is the watershed region of the spinal cord?

A

T4-9. narrowest spinal canal and poorest blood supply.

50
Q

Smith-robinson approach: from left or right side? Which is better and why?

A

left is betterreasons:predictable clourse of recurrent laryngeal n (around aortic arch, runs between trachea and esophagus. Problem: most ppl right handedc.f. right side: loops around subclavian a and crosses field from lateral to medial to run next to trachea. can be abberant at thyroid level

51
Q

name the 3 fascial layers you pass through in the smith robinson approach, from superficial to deep

A

deep cervical fasciapretracheal fasciaprevertebral fascia

52
Q

name 2 major anatomical structures superficial to deep cervical fascia (not skin and fat)

A

external jug vplatysma

53
Q

Describe the smith robinson approach, and identifiy the important intervals.

A

transverse incisionsplit fibres of platysma (vertical) - CN VII facial ngo through deep cervical fasciago between SCM (CN XI accessory) and strap muscles (omohyoid, sternothyroid, sternohyoid, thyrohyoid - all ansa cervicalis innervation)go through pretrachial fascia anterior to carotid sheath (contains IJV, vagus n, common carotid a)go between left and right longus colli (segmental n)go thorugh prevertebral fascia

54
Q

dangers of smith robinson approach

A

carotid sheath (vagus n, common coarotid a, IJV)thyroid arteriestracheaesopahgusrecurent laryngeal nstellate ganglion/sympathetic chainvertebral a

55
