Q
  • What x-ray is this? Fill in spaces
  • What do you want to make sure lined up?
  • How can you see odontoid?
A
  • odontoid cervical spine
  • Want to make sure the lateral masses are lined up, C1 and C2. Don’t want to see them out of line, would indicate fracture of C1 or C2 (depending on which body is displaced).
  • Can only see odontoid through pt’s open mouth, so see teeth around it.

  • What is preferred?
  • What is it useful for?
  • What is it not used for?
A
  • When have cervical collar or unconscious –cannotget open mouth view.
  • CT is preferred imaging modality for allC-spine fractures
  • The Fuchs view is a type of modified Water’s view to demonstrate the odontoid tip.
  • Odontoid process can be demonstrated by an exaggerated reverse Waters view called the Fuchs. When performed correctly is very useful for demonstrating the upper part of the odontoid tip but is not used for trauma imaging.

A
  • Up to 20 % of fractures are missed on conventional radiographs.
  • C2 vertebral Body Fracture
  • CT benefits include excellent visualization of canal and 3Dreconstruction

  • What is this an example of?
A
  • MRI spine imaging
  • Excellent soft tissue and vascular contrast
  • Can identify bony injury that is not evident on X-Ray
  • Here is an example of a MRI image of the cervical spine demostrating a ligamentous injury. Notice that the spinal cord is also very well delinated. A dens fracture is not obvious on the lateral film, but is clearly revealed on MRI. (Med-ed.virginia.edu)

Q

What is this image?
* You should only do this when?
* Why do you do this?
* What can you look for?

A

Flexion and extension C-spine
* Only done if patient is stable and has NO chance for unstable Fracture.
* Flexion and extension views may be used if a pure soft tissue injury is suspected or an injury of questionable stability is noted. The patient should perform the flexion and extension voluntarily.
* Flexion/extension views are absolutely contraindicated in documented unstable injuries.
* Might look for clayshoveler’sfracture (C6, 7, or T1). Someone who shovels clay (heavy) ends up with these fractures.->not necessarily a fracture that causes paralysis. Need todistinguishit from a HANGMAN’S FRACTURE.

Q

Fill in
* Assess the four paraelle line?
* These lines should follow what? Any malaligment should be considered what?

A

Assess four parallel lines. These are:
1. Anterior vertebral line (anterior margin of vertebral bodies)
2. Posterior vertebral line (posterior margin of vertebral bodies)
3. Spinolaminar line (posterior margin of spinal canal)
4. Posterior spinous/process line (tips of the spinous processes)

  • These lines should follow a slightly lordotic curve, smooth and without step-offs.
  • Any malalignment should be considered evidence of ligmentous injury or occult fracture, and cervical spine immobilization should be maintained until a definitive diagnosis is made.

Q
  • What is the predental space?
  • The prevertebral soft tissues can be used as an indicator of what?
  • The normal width of the prevertebral tissue decreases down from what vertabrae?
  • What is the normal measurement from C1-C4? Below C5?
  • Air within soft tissue could suggests what?
A
  • Predental space, the distance between the anterior surface of the odontoid process and posterior aspect of the anterior ring of C1.
  • The prevertebral soft tissues can be used as an indicator of an acute swelling or hemorrhage resulting from an injury, and may sometimes be the only indicator of an acute injury on an x-ray.
  • The normal width of the prevertebral tissue decreases down from C1 to C4 and increases from C4 downwards.
  • Normal measurements from C1 to C4 are less than 7 mm (less than half of the vertebral body at this level), and less than 22 mm below the C5 (less than the vertebral body at this level).
  • Air within soft tissue could suggest rupture of the esophagus or trachea.Space between lower cervical vertebrae and trachea should be < 1 vertebral body.

What is common cause of hangman’s

A

Hyperextension refers to excessive extension of the neck in the sagital plane. A common cause of hyperextension injury is hitting the dash board in MVA, which may result in Hangman’s fracture.

Q
  • What is a teardrop fracture?
  • What is a common cause?
  • What does it result in?
A
  • Hyperflexion refers to excessive flexion of the neck in the sagital plane.
  • It results in disruption of the posterior ligament. A common cause of hyperflexion injury is diving in shallow water, which may result in flexion tear drop fracture. Jefferson fracture may co-occur.

* The lateral view is obtained during what?
* In the normal spine, the anterior cortex should have what?
* What gets larger on lateral view?
* What can usually be seen in AP view? ANy displacement can be a sign of what?

A
  • The routine examination consists of AP and lateral views.
  • The lateral view is obtained during quiet respiration to blur out the overlying pulmonary vessels.
  • In the normal spine, the anterior cortex should have a smooth margin in the lateral view.
  • Also on lateral view, vertebral bodies and disc spaces get larger with caudal progression.
  • On the AP view, a paravertebral soft tissue line can usually be seen. Any displacement of this line can be a sign of swelling helpful for the diagnosis of injury.

  • CT of the pelvis is the technique of choice for evaluating what?
  • Symptoms from fractures of the hip, acetabulum and pelvis may be quite similar, thus, what needs to be done?
  • The femurs should be positioned how?
A
  • The five bones that comprise the pelvis are the ilium, ischium, pubis, sacrum, and coccyx.
  • Most trauma to the pelvis and hips can be evaluated with an AP projection of the pelvis and hips. Other injuries require special projections such as anterior and posterior obliques views of the pelvis, frog-lateral view of the hip and groin-lateral view.
  • CT of the pelvis is the technique of choice for evaluating complex fracture patterns, degree of displacement and soft tissue injury.
  • Symptoms from fractures of the hip, acetabulum and pelvis may be quite similar, thus, a full AP pelvis radiograph including the hip must be obtained if any of the above fractures are expected.
  • The femurs should be internally rotated when obtaining an AP pelvis film so that the femoral necks can be appropriately assessed for fractures.

Why Weight-bearing vs non weight-bearing?

A
