Spinal Fractures and Luxations Flashcards
Vallefuoco, VCOT, 2014:
Short- and long-term outcomes in cats with T/L fracture-luxations treated with screws and PMMA?
Vallefuoco, VCOT, 2014:
50% excellent outcomes, 25% satisfactory outcomes, 25% died in the post-op period due to concomitant injuries
Sturges, Vet Surg, 2016:
Lumbar vertebral stiffness and ROM following stabilization of lumbar vertebrae with bilateral pins + PMMA vs unilateral LCP?
Sturges, Vet Surg, 2016:
Lumbar vertebral stiffness was greater with bilateral pins + PMMA, and ROM was reduced with bilateral pins + PMMA, compared to unilateral LCP
Di Dona, VCOT, 2016:
Percutaneous transilial pinning for L7 fractures
Outcomes?
Di Dona, VCOT, 2016:
88% good to excellent outcomes (normal function), 12% poor outcomes (persistent unilateral sciatic nerve deficits)
Nel, Vet Surg, 2017:
Fixation of LS fracture-luxations with pins + PMMA or SOP plates provide similar stability - true or false?
Nel, Vet Surg, 2017:
True
Tran, Vet Surg, 2017:
Lateral vs dorsal stabilization of lumbar spinal fracture-luxations
Advantages and disadvantages of the lateral approach?
Tran, Vet Surg, 2017:
Advantages: superior for pin angle accuracy and bone purchase - clinically important consequences of breach are less common
Disadvantages: prevents observation of the articular facets
Fujioka, Vet Surg, 2019:
Patient-specific drill guide template
- What % of screws were placed without vertebral canal invasion?
- Was greater accuracy achieved for screws placed in the cranial lumbar or caudal thoracic vertebrae?
Fujioka, Vet Surg, 2019:
- 90% of the screws were placed without vertebral canal invasion
- Greater accuracy of screw placement was achieved in the cranial lumbar vertebrae than the caudal thoracic vertebrae
Gallastegui, VRU, 2019:
What % of fractured vertebrae had complete agreement for exact fracture location between MRI and CT?
Gallastegui, VRU, 2019:
Complete agreement between MRI and CT was achieved in only 14-33% of fractured vertebrae
Schmidli, VCOT, 2019:
C2 fractures
- What % only showed cervical pain?
- What % had fractures involving the dens?
- Chances for full or functional recovery with conservatively vs surgically managed cases?
Schmidli, VCOT, 2019:
- 32% showed only cervical pain
- 23% had fractures involving the dens
- Chances of full or functional recovery were very good for both conservatively and surgically managed cases
Hansen, JVECC, 2019:
Traumatic AA subluxation
- What % of cases had additional information about further injuries that were obtained only by CT or MRI?
- Most common location for cervical fractures?
Hansen, JVECC, 2019:
- 88%
- Most common location for cervical fractures was the body of C2
