Q

Impingement of Intervertebral Foramina

A

Occurs when the small openings between the bones in your spine, called the neural foramina, narrow or tighten. The nerve roots that exit the spinal column through the neural foramina may become compressed, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness

A

an extra rib which arises from the seventh cervical vertebra. Their presence is a congenital abnormality located above the normal first rib. People may have a cervical rib on either side or on both.

Q

Fracture/ Dislocation

A

a fracture is a break or crack into the bone where a dislocation occurs when 2 bones are out of place at the joint. Sometimes this can occur at the same time.

23
Q

Scoliosis

A

abnormal lateral curvature of the spine

24
Q

Kyphosis

A

excessive outward curvature of the spine, causing hunching of the back

25
Q

Ankylosing Spondylitis

A

An inflammatory disease that, over time, can cause some of the vertebrae in your spine to fuse

26
Q

Osteoporosis

A

A condition which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D.

27
Q

Spina Bifida Occulta

A

a malformation of one or more vertebrae

28
Q

Pars defect - Sponylolisthesis

A

is the slipping forward of the vertebral bone. occurs when the pars is weakened. The interarticularis separates and allows the vertebra to move forward out of position causing pinched nerves and pain

29
Q

Retrolisthesis

A

is a posterior displacement of one vertebral body with respect to the subjacent vertebra to a degree less than a luxation (dislocation)

30
Q

Chance Fracture

A

a type of vertebral fracture that results from excessive flexion of the spine. Often unstable.

31
Q

Lumbar Fusion

A

a surgical procedure used to correct problems with the small bones in the vertebrae

32
Q

360 degree Lumbar Fusion

A

aka. anterior/posterior lumbar fusion. the procedure is an extremely common method for fusing the lumbar spine in which there is an incision anterior in the abdominal area and incisions posterior in the lumbar or low back region

33
Q

Lumbar Disc Replacement

A

the lumbar vertebrae are replaced due to being worn or degeneration, it is then replaced with an artificial disk made of metal or a combination of metal and plastic

34
Q

Scheuermann’s Disease

A

a growth condition in which the normal curve in the upper spine is increased, forming a hunched back

35
Q

Sacralisation

A

is a common irregularity of the spine, where the 5th vertebra is fused to the sacrum. The 5th lumbar vertebra, known as L5, may fuse fully or partially on either side of the sacrum, or on both sides

36
Q

Transitional Lumbar Vertebra

A

lumbosacral transitional vertebrae are congenital spinal anomalies, in which an elongated transverse process of the last lumbar vertebra fuses with varying degree to the “first” sacral segment

37
Q

lumbar metastases

A

metastases is the spread of cancer, lumbar metastases is a secondary tumour that can be identified in the lumbar spine

38
Q

Multiple Myeloma

A

is a cancer that forms in a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell. plasma cells help you fight infections by making antibodies that recognise and attack germs. multiple myeloma causes cancer cells to accumulate in the bone marrow, where they crowd out healthy blood cells

39
Q

Sacroiliitis

A

is an inflammation of one or both of the sacroiliac joints - situated where your lower spine and pelvis connect.

40
Q

Fracture/ separation of SI jt

A

the sacrum is either fractured or separated in more than one place due to the ring effect

41
Q

Metastases

A

the development of secondary malignant growths at a distance from a primary site of cancer

42
Q

SI Jts Ankylosing Spondylitis

A

a form of spinal arthritis, where the bones become stiffened or united in the SI jts

43
Q

Paget’s disease

A

a chronic disease characterised by alteration of bone tissue, especially in the spine, skull, or pelvis, sometimes causing severe pain

44
Q

depressed fracture

A

a depressed fracture is usually caused by direct impact to the bone and can be associated with a haemorrhage

45
Q

Bony Metastases

A

the development of secondary malignant growths in the skull

46
Q

Hyperostosis Frontalis Interna

A

is a common, benign thickening of the inner side of the frontal bone of the skull. it is found predominantly in women after menopause and is usually asymptomatic

47
Q

multiple myeloma

A

a cancer that forms in a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell, degenerates and thins the bone

48
Q

Intraorbital foreign bodies

A

foreign bodies that have penetrated the eye and are lodged within the globe

49
Q

tripod fracture

A

a zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture, which involves the lateral orbital wall, separation of the maxilla and zygoma along the anterior maxilla, the zygomatic arch, and the orbital floor near the infraorbital canal

50
Q

Le Fort fracture

A

classic transfacial fracture of the midface, involving the maxillary bone and surrounding structures in either a horizontal, pyramidal or transverse direction

51
Q

Maxilla fracture

A

is defined as partial or full separation of parts of the entire tooth-bearing part of the maxilla from the residual midface

52
Q

fractured zygoma

A

is a form of facial fracture caused by a fracture of the zygomatic bone

53
Q

blowout fracture

A

a trauma deformity of the orbital floor or medial wall, typically resulting from impact to eye socket

54
Q

facial polyps

A

nasal polyps are non cancerous growths on the lining of your nasal passages or sinuses. they result from chronic inflammation and are associated with asthma, recurring infection, allergies, drug sensitivity or certain immune disorders
