Spondylosis, Spondylolysis, and Spondylolisthesis Flashcards
What is the definition of spondlosis
a vertebral condition
What is the definition of spondylolysis
a vertebral separation condition
what is the definition of spondylolisthesis
a vertebral slippage
what is the current limited definition of spondylosis
a vertebral condition that is acquired or age-related
What is the location of spondylolysis that will be stressed in spinal 2
a separation along the pars interarticularis (defect in the pars interarticularis or pars defect)
what is the incidence of spondylolysis in the general population
a range of 2.6%-10%
what is the geographic or ethnic bias for a higher incidence of spondylolysis
the native alaskan or inuit population
wht does lumbar spondylolysis appear to be related to
the uniquely human upright stance or erect posture
what is the gender bias and locational bias associated with lumbar spondylolysis
men at L5/S1; women at L4/L5
What is the geographic or ethnic bias for a higher incidence of spondylolysis
the native alaskan or Inuit population
lumbar spndylolysis has not been reported in what groups of individuals
fetuses, newborns, rarely in children under five years old, patients who have never walked and in non erect species
lumbar spondylolysis is associated with what characteristics
familial association, spina bifida occulta, racial/ethnic disparities, gender and locational bias, youthful incidence and activities requiring repetitive stress on the spine
What is the age range typically associated with lumbar spondylolysis
10-20 year olds
What activities are particularly stressful at the pars interarticularis of lumbar vertebrae
gymnastics, dance, soccer
what fills the space in a lumbar spondylolysis
fibrocartilagenous material
what name has been given to the material filling the space in a lumbar spondylolysis
spondylolysis ligament
what types of neural functions have been associated with the spondylolysis ligament
nociception, neuromodulation and autonomic function
what is the appearance of the lumbar vertebrae on oblique x-ray
a scotty dog
what is the appearance of a spondylolysis in a lumbar vertebrae upon oblique x-ray
a collared scotty dog
waht is the appearance of a spondylolysis below the superior articular process of a lumbar pars interarticularis is associated with what part of the scotty dog
the neck of the scotty dog
what part of a lumbar vertebra forms the eye of the scotty dog
the pedicle
what part of a lumbar vertebra forms the ear of a scotty dog
the superior articular facet
what part of the lumbar vertebra forms the nose of a scotty dog
the transverse process
hwat characteristics are associated with cervical spondylolysis
rare, congenital, gender bias is toward men, most common at C6 and linked to spondylolisthesis and spina bifida
What characteristics are associated with sacral spondylolysis
rare in the general population, within typial percents in the native Alaskan (inuit) population, seems to be acquired, gender biased is toward men, most common at S1 and linked to activities such as kayaking and harpooning
what is the incidence of sacral spondylolysis in the general population
its rare
is sacral spondylolysis the result of congenital conditions, acquired conditions or an age-related condition
it seems to be acquired
what is the ethnic, gender, and locational bias associated with sacral spondylolysis
the native Alaskan (inuit) population male at the S1 level
