BACKGROUND AND AIM: Cervical hyperextension injury is very frequent with anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL) injury, and the ligament damage has a remarkable effect on whether and what type of operation should be performed. This study aims to establish a new scoring system for the accurate diagnosis of ALL damage. METHODS: The imaging data of the consecutive patients was measured and scored by four radiologists. Intraoperative exploration was performed by three surgeons...

Hanging is one of the most common suicide methods worldwide. Neck injuries that occur upon such neck compression - fractures of the thyrohyoid complex and cervical spine, occupy forensic pathologists for a long time. However, research failed to identify particular patterns of these injuries corresponding to the force distribution a ligature applies to the neck: the issue of reconstructing the knot in a noose position persists. So far, machine learning (ML) models were not utilized to classify knot positions and reconstruct this event...

BACKGROUND: As advocated in advanced trauma life support and prehospital trauma life support protocols, cervical immobilization is applied until cervical spine injury is excluded. This study aimed to show the difference in optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) between patients with and without a cervical collar using computed tomography (CT). METHODS: This was a single-center, retrospective study examining trauma patients who presented to the emergency department between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021...

Our previous research studies have demonstrated the role of microRNA133b (miR133b) in healing the contused spinal cord when administered either intranasally or intravenously 24 h following an injury. While our data showed beneficial effects of exogenous miR133b delivered within hours of a spinal cord injury (SCI), the kinetics of endogenous miR133b levels in the contused spinal cord and rostral/caudal segments of the injury were not fully investigated. In this study, we examined the miR133b dysregulation in a mouse model of moderate unilateral contusion injury at the fifth cervical (C5) level...

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES: With the aging of the Japanese population, patients with athetoid cerebral palsy (ACP) are getting older, and the rate of surgery for CSM is increasing in ACP patients. However, postoperative complications of such surgery among adult patients with ACP have not been reported yet. We investigated postoperative complications of surgery for CSM with ACP and compared them with those of surgery for CSM without ACP using a national inpatient database of Japan...

Background Bag-mask ventilation is an essential life-saving skill. The E-C technique of mask holding is the most popular. In patients with suspected cervical injury, the jaw thrust maneuver is recommended instead of the E-C technique with head tilt-chin lift. Should jaw thrust fail to produce adequate chest rise, the operator is advised to switch to the E-C technique with the head tilt-chin lift maneuver with head extension as it is vital to move oxygen into the lungs. We hypothesized that the E-C clamp with the head in the neutral position without head tilt might permit adequate ventilation without producing excessive movement of the cervical spine, which in turn might translate as less strain to the cervical spine...

INTRODUCTION: Spondylolisthesis is described as the displacement of one vertebra over another, leading to spinal instability and potential nerve compression. When this occurs in the cervicothoracic junction, it can result in unique clinical manifestations. High-grade spondylolisthesis caused by trauma in the cervicothoracic junction of the spine usually results in acute spinal cord injury and quadriparesis. However, a few uncommon cases of the same injury reported minimal or no neurological deficits...

Isolated cervical spine facet fractures are often overlooked. The primary imaging modality for diagnosing these injuries is a computed tomography scan. Treatment of unilateral cervical facet fractures without evidence of dislocation or subluxation remains controversial. The available evidence regarding treatment options for these fractures is of low quality. Risk factors associated with the failure of nonoperative treatment are: comminution of the articular mass or facet joint, acute radiculopathy, high body mass index, listhesis exceeding 2 mm, fragmental diastasis, acute disc injury, and bilateral fractures or fractures that adversely affect 40% of the intact lateral mass height or have an absolute height of 1 cm...

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous approaches to the spine have been explored recently for various procedures, including transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. It is known that facet decortication leads to higher rates of fusion, but effective percutaneous approaches have not been well documented. There are a set of instruments used in the cervical spine for percutaneous decortication, the CORUS™ Spinal System-X (DI# 00852776006508), which may be useful in this setting. Our aim was to investigate the feasibility of decorticating the lumbar facet joints with these instruments in cadavers to aid in minimally invasive lumbar fusion...

PURPOSE: With the increasing level of automation in automobiles, the advent of autonomous vehicles has reduced the tendency of drivers and passengers to focus on the task of driving. The increasing automation in automobiles reduced the drivers' and passengers' focus on driving, which allowed occupants to choose a more relaxed and comfortable sitting position. Meanwhile, the occupant's sitting position went from a frontal, upright position to a more relaxed and reclined one, which resulted in the existing restraint systems can not to keep occupants safe and secure...

BACKGROUND: Fatigue is common in sports, impairing performance and increasing injury risk, yet little is known regarding fatigue and concussion. Impaired neck neuromuscular function may contribute to concussion at baseline, where central fatigue may further impair neck function resulting in increased concussion risk. These effects may be magnified in athletes with a history of concussion. PURPOSE: To determine the effect of exercise induced central fatigue on neck joint position error, strength, and endurance in healthy subjects and those with a history of concussion...

INTRODUCTION: Central cord syndrome, the most common incomplete traumatic spinal cord injury, often results in functional impairment with variable recovery. CASE PRESENTATION: Central cord syndrome developed in a 64-year-old man during routine home use of an inversion table. DISCUSSION: The incidence of central cord syndrome, which occurs most frequently after a fall, is increasing among older persons. Age-related changes in the cervical spine may predispose the spinal cord to compression and injury during a fall...
