Abstract:
Background: Many patients undergoing laminoplasty develop postoperative loss of cervical lordosis or kyphotic alignment of cervical spine despite sufficient preoperative lordosis. This results in poor surgical outcomes. Methods: Here, we reviewed the relationship between multiple radiological parameters of cervical alignment that correlated with postoperative loss of cervical lordosis in patients undergoing laminoplasty. Results: Patient with a high T1 slope (T1S) has more lordotic alignment of the cervical spine preoperatively and is at increased risk for the loss of cervical lordosis postlam

Object. The authors conducted a study to assess the effects of cervical posture on the loadbearing ability of the cervical spine. Methods. Twelve cervical spine specimens obtained in 12 adult sheep were tested. The specimens were randomly separated into two groups. In Group I the specimens were fixed in a lordotic posture, and in Group II they were fixed in a straight posture. Axial compressive loads were applied at a constant rate of 5 cm/minute. Load-to-failure, time-to-failure, piston displacement at failure, and failure modes were recorded. Statistical analyses were performed to detect dif

Abstract:
Injury to the head and neck resulting from whiplash trauma can result in upper cervical instability (UCIS), in which excessive movement at C1 on C2 is observed radiologically. In some cases of UCIS there is also a loss of normal cervical lordosis. We postulate that improvement or restoration of the normal mid to lower cervical lordosis in patients with UCIS can improve the biomechanical function of the upper cervical spine, and thus potentially improve symptoms and radiographic findings associated with UCIS. Nine patients with both radiographically confirmed UCIS and loss of cervical lordosis

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is one of the most commonly performed spine procedures. It can be used to correct cervical kyphotic deformity, which is the most common cervical deformity, and is often performed using lordotic interbody devices. Worsening of the cervical sagittal parameters is associated with decreased health-related quality of life. The study hypothesis is that through the use of machined lordotic allografts in ACDF, segmental and overall cervical lordosis can be maintained or increased, which will have a positive impact on overall cervical sagittal al

Background: There is a small level of evidence regarding the alterations in global spine alignment following the restoration of cervical lordosis using anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).

Abstract:
Abstract The normal cervical spine is straight in the coronal plane and usually is lordotic (curved convex anteriorly) in the sagittal plane, and although cervical spine deformity occurs in the coronal plane (eg, scoliosis), sagittal plane deformities are more common. For example, cervical lordosis can be increased (hyperlordosis) within the normal range, decreased (hypolordosis), absent (a straight cervical spine with 0° of curvature on a lateral X ray), or reversed (kyphosis). Primary deformity of the cervical spine often is congenital (eg, wedge vertebra); secondary sagittal deformities may

Object Analysis of cervical sagittal deformity in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) requires a thorough clinical and radiographic evaluation to select the most appropriate surgical approach. Angular radiographic measurements, which are commonly used to define sagittal deformity, may not be the most appropriate to use for surgical planning. The authors present a simple straight-line method to measure effective spinal canal lordosis and analyze its reliability.

Abstract The spine moves in a myriad of complex ways to fulfill the demands of artistic expression. The balance of upright posture is an excellent place to begin to discover principles that support efficiency in the movement required for any dance aesthetic. Chapter 4 introduces skeletal components of the spine (i.e., cervical, thoracic, lumbar) and examines the nature of spinal curvatures. The authors describe the different idiopathic and postural curvatures that can be present in the spine, such as lordosis, kyphosis, and scoliosis. Guided movement explorations in this chapter help the reader discover greater expressivity while dancing and personal applications to support ease in action in daily life.

Abstract:
The thoracic spine occupies a unique position with respect to anatomical, biomechanical, pathological, and surgical considerations. The kyphosis of the thoracic spine is offset by the lordosis in the mobile cervical spine and the principal load bearing lumbar spine maintaining a sagittal balanced posture. Due to the biomechanical properties of the thoracic spine, the incidence of thoracic disc prolapse is low. However, the anatomical features of the thoracic spine make appropriate surgical planning imperative. This chapter will cover the management and operative approaches to thoracic disc disease, including open and minimally invasive techniques. Operative approaches can be broadly divided into two groups, anterior and posterior-lateral. Each approach is discussed with respect to technique, anatomy, closure, and common complications. It will also discuss pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of osteoporotic fractures.

The model was altered to three initial postures: lordosis, straight, kyphosis. The three models were exercised under 2.6 m/sec rear impact pulses. Segmental kinematics and ligament strains were investigated during cervical S-curvature and throughout the whiplash event. Anterior longitudinal ligament strains during S-curvature varied from 20 to 47% of maximum strains. Facet joint strains during S-curvature were 42 to 100% of max

Abstract:
Anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure typically utilized in cervical spine disc herniation to alleviate spinal cord compression. There have been several implants used in ACDF surgeries [6,11]. Common implants include standalone cages that insert in the intervertebral space (zero-profile) and cages with an anterior cervical plate and screws that connects the adjacent vertebral bodies. The anterior cervical plate and screw placement has been the preferred method due to increase in fusion rate, reduced graft subsidence, and overall improved lordotic alignment [
