What is the definition of Spondylosis
A vertebral condition
What is the definition of spondylolysis
a vertebral separation or vertebral cleavage
What is the definition of spondylolisthesis
A vertebral slippage
What is the location of spondylolysis that will be stressed in Spinal
A separation along the pars interarticularis (defect in the pars interarticularis or pars defect)
What is the incidence of spondylolysis in the natice alaskan population
52.6%
What is the geographic or ethnic bias for a higher incidence of spondylolysis
The native alaskan (inuit) population
What does lumbar spondylolysis appear to relate to
The uniquely human upright stance or erect postues
Lumbar spondylolysis is associated with what characteristics
Familial association SPina bifida occulta Racial/ethnic disparities gender and locational bias youthful incidence activities requiring repetitive stress on the spine
What is the age range typically associated with lumbar spondylolysis
10-20 years old
What activities are particularly stressful at the pars interarticularis of lumbar vertebrae
Gymnastics
Dance
Soccer
What fills the space in a lumbar spndylolysis
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
autonomic function
What is the appearance of the lumbar vertebra upon oblique x-ray view
A Scotty Dog
What is the appearance of a spondylolysis in lumbar vertebra upon oblique x-ray views
A collared scotty dog
In an oblique x-ray, 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 the scotty dog
The superior articular process
What part of the lumbar vertebra forms the nose of the scotty dog
The transverse process
What characteristics are associated with cervical spondylolysis
rare congenital gender bias towards men most comman at C6 linked to spondylolisthesis and spina bifida
What characteristics are associated with sacral spondylolysis
Rare in the general population typical percents in the native alaskan inuit Seems to be acquired Gender biased toward men Most common at S1 Liked to kayacking and harpooing
Identify all the names given to spondylolisthesis
Dysplastic spondylolisthesis
Congenital spondylolisthesis
What is the locational bias of type 1 spondylolisthesis
L5 or upper sacral segments
What additional conditions are linked to type 1 spondylolisthesis
Spina bifida occulta and nerve root compression of S1 nerve
What gender bias, location bias and spinal canal dimensions are associated with type II spondylolisthesis
Isthmic spondylolisthesis is common in men
Located at the L5/S1 level
demonstrates an increase in sagittal diameter of the spinal canal
What is the gender bias, locational bias, and spinal canal dimension changes often associated with Type III spondylolisthesis
Degenerative spondylolisthesis is more common in women
Mainly L4/L5
Demonstrated no change in sagittal diameter of the spinal cord
What causes type IV spondylolisthesis
Fracture of the neural arch
What are the causes asssociated with type V spondyloisthesis
Bone disease such as paget disease or osteogenesis imperfecta
