A Report of Transverse Process Fractures Secondary to the Centrifuge in a Healthy Aviator.
Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance 2016 July
BACKGROUND: Centrifuge training, while an integral component in pilot training, is not without risks. To date there has never been a reported case of isolated transverse process fractures associated with centrifuge training.
CASE REPORT: A 32-yr-old Flight Surgeon underwent centrifuge training as part of an educational course. She had increasing back pain after exposure to the centrifuge. Follow-up studies showed left L2 and bilateral L3 transverse process fractures. No other contributory causes could be identified except for mild vitamin D deficiency.
DISCUSSION: The etiology, incidence, and treatment of transverse process fractures are examined to better prepare the clinician for the management of these cases. Puderbaugh MA.
