ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:With the change of modern living habits, the incidence of cervical disease and cervical related diseases is increasingly at younger age. Based on this feature, the discussion of the relationship between the cervical spine and vertebral body as wel as regular feature can provide theoretical basis for early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the correlation structure of the cervical vertebra uncinate process with the vertebral body and intervertebral foramen among adolescents. METHODS:A total of 66 cases without injuries, neurological symptoms or signs of 6 to 20 years old were scanned with multi-row thin-slice spiral CT from C1-T1. The original data were loaded in DICOM format into three-dimensional reconstruction software for measurement and statistical analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) In addition to uncinate process height and vertebral body height, the uncinate process spacing, uncinate base width and diameter between the vertebrae and a uncinate process base radius vector length and vertebral bodies were positively correlated (P<0.05). (2) Uncinate high uncinate base long uncinate base width and height between the foramen in addition to the uncinate process had a positive correlation with the length of the substrate (P<0.05). (3) In conclusion, there is a certain correlation in juvenile cervical uncovertebral joint between the uncinate process and vertebral body and intervertebral foramen. With the growth of age, cervical activity is increased and the uncinate hyperplasia, trauma, and fracture can oppress spinal nerve within the intervertebral foramen to cause corresponding nerve root type of cervical spondylosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective The correlation analysis was proceeded between youth cervical hook and transverse foramen by using imaging scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction method,which can provide theoretical basis for early diagnosis,treatment and prevention of ju-venile cervical spondylosis.Methods A total of 66 teenagers who had no trauma,neurological symptoms or signs were selected with aged from 6 to 20 years old,who were scanned by multi slice spiral CT,ranged from C1 to T1 .The original data in DICOMformat to import 3D re-construction software was related index measurement and subsequent statistical analysis.Results There was a correlation between hook height,base width,base length of luschca joint and transverse diameter,longitudinal diameter.Conclusion Hook vertebral meridian of lus-chca joint and transverse foramen has a close contact.Factors such as fracture and hyperplasia of luschca joint,vertebral artery of transverseforamen can be oppressed that cause corresponding vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis.
