Q

List the ligaments and their roles for the lower cervical spine C2-7

A
  • Intertransverse ligament: connects one transverse process to another. Provides stability in the transverse plane
  • Longitudinal Ligament (ALL): Runs along the anterior vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs, limiting excessive extension.
  • Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (PLL): Runs along the posterior vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs, limiting excessive flexion.
  • Ligamentum Flavum: Connects adjacent laminae, providing elastic recoil after flexion and preventing excessive motion.
  • Interspinous Ligament: Connects adjacent spinous processes, resisting excessive flexion.
  • Supraspinous Ligament: Runs along the tips of the spinous processes and provides further resistance to excessive flexion.
  • Nuchal Ligament (Ligamentum Nuchae): A thickened continuation of the supraspinous ligament in the cervical region. It serves as a strong midline attachment for muscles and provides postural support, resisting hyperflexion.
  • Facet Joint Capsules: Surround the facet (zygapophyseal) joints and limit excessive motion while guiding movement.

Q

List the ligaments and their roles for C1-C2

A

The key stabilizing ligaments include:
* Transverse Ligament of the Atlas: Part of the cruciform ligament, it holds the dens of C2 against the anterior arch of C1, preventing anterior translation of C1.
* Alar Ligaments: Attach from the dens to the occipital condyles and limit excessive rotation.
* Tectorial Membrane: A continuation of the posterior longitudinal ligament, providing additional stability.

Q

Where does the vertebral artery pass?

A

The vertebral artery passes through the transverse foramen of the cervical vertebrae from C6 to C1. After exiting the C1 (atlas) transverse foramen, it courses medially and posteriorly across the posterior arch of the atlas within the vertebral groove (sulcus arteriae vertebralis). It then enters the foramen magnum of the skull to join the contralateral vertebral artery, forming the basilar artery in the brainstem.

This pathway is clinically significant because compression or occlusion of the vertebral artery (e.g., from cervical osteophytes, trauma, or excessive cervical rotation) can lead to vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI), causing dizziness, vertigo, or even stroke-like symptoms.

47
Q

48
Q

What is this? How does it affect facet joints and gross movement patterns?

A

Scoliosis:
Defined by side of the convexity
Affects contralateral lung volume

Effect on facet joints:
Scoliosis alters the alignment and loading of the facet joints, leading to asymmetrical stress and degenerative changes over time. On the concave side, the facet joints experience compression, which can lead to increased wear, restricted mobility, and potential joint degeneration. Conversely, the convex side undergoes gapping, which can cause ligamentous strain and instability. This asymmetry disrupts the normal biomechanics of thoracic motion, potentially leading to facet joint irritation, pain, and compensatory adaptations in adjacent spinal regions.

Effect in gross movement pattern:
Scoliosis affects gross movement patterns by altering spinal mechanics, ribcage mobility, and muscle balance. The curvature creates asymmetrical rotation, where the thoracic spine is rotated toward the convex side, impacting trunk movement efficiency. This rotation leads to restricted thoracic flexion and extension, uneven lateral flexion, and compensatory movements in the lumbar and cervical regions. Over time, these movement dysfunctions can result in impaired posture, reduced functional mobility, and compensatory overuse of muscles, increasing the risk of pain and movement inefficiency in daily activities.

Q

A patient with right hip osteoarthritis is asking if he can use a cane to ambulate. Which side should they be using their cane? Why?

A

A patient with right hip osteoarthritis should use a cane on the left (unaffected) side to reduce joint stress, improve balance, and enhance gait efficiency. Using the cane on the opposite side decreases compressive forces on the right hip, reducing pain and load during walking. It also provides external support to the right gluteus medius, minimizing the risk of pelvic drop and reducing muscle strain. Additionally, this placement aligns with the body’s natural gait pattern, improving stability. For optimal use, the cane should move with the left leg, and its height should align with the wrist when standing.
