CSPINE, TSPINE, TMJ Flashcards
(254 cards)
typically, where is referred non radicular px in relation to Cspine
surrounding the medial border of scap (C3/4 starts at sup angle, then count all the way around and C7/T1 are at inf angle)
cap like HA is referred/non rad px from C
5 or 6 disc
in C spine, protrusion appears with what sx
arm pain in partial dermatome pattern
in C spine, prolapse appears with what sx
arm pain is worse than the back pain, follows dermatome pattern
in C spine, extrusion presents with what sx
arm pain worse than back pain, poly dermatome pattern
with severe HA, you have to R/O
ischemic (blood supply) issues
if you have a case that none of your tests are conclusive and they have neuro sx, you may need to refer out for
tumor
nerve root pain usually exists at what segment
if it’s C3-C4 it will exist at C4
meaning the lower segment
C2/C3 radicular px is where
side of head or neck (ant/lat)
C3/C4 radicular px is where
above the upper trap (C4 is supraclavicular)
C4-C5 radicular px is where
lateral arm
C5-C6 radicular px is where
thumb
C6-C7 radicular px is where
middle finger
C7-T1 radicular px is where
hypothenar and 5th finger
where is facet px for C3-C4
side of neck
where is facet px for C4-C5
side of lower neck
where is facet px for C5-C6
entire upper shoulder area
where is facet px for C6-C7
entire scapula
where is facet px for C2-C3
around ear (behind ear)
bilateral neck pain sx (but one side worse) spreading to medial scapula (staying around c spine)
DDD of Cspine
bilateral neck pain Sx (but one side worse) spreading to medial scapula, also having lateral neck px or shoulder px or post back px (around scapula)
DDD of C spine with possible DDD of facet
differentiate btwn clowards sign and disc with nerve root involvment (body chart)
clowards is just referred px (non neural or non radiating), nerve root involvement also has stiffness and px in the neck as well as neural sx in the arm
Deep unilateral neck pain with stiffness, then sharp or deep px somewhere around medial scapula
discogenic (IDD/EDD) (there is an issue within the disc but it’s contained and not radicular px)
clowards sign (disc referral) is or is not radicular
is not - referred from disc only
