Study Notes
Imaging and Degenerative Changes
- Main disadvantage of X-ray radiographs is not specified, but MRI is best suited for visualizing internal structures.
- MRI machines include examples such as Open MRI, Closed MRI, and Extremity MRI.
Pathology and Injury
- 57% of whiplash injuries occur above the C4-C5 level.
- 57% of individuals who report back pain have no demonstrable tissue pathology that can be identified with imaging studies.
Characteristics of Degenerative Changes
- Pathological degeneration is characterized by findings such as annulus tears and fissures, which can be visualized in T2 Weighted MRI as high intensity zones.
Disc Herniation and Modic Changes
- A disc herniation is an unilateral outpouching of the intervertebral disc, classified as protrusion, extrusion, and sequestration.
- Modic type 1 endplate changes are characterized by edema, inflammation, and can represent an acute to subacute injury or trauma.
- A Schmorl's node can be considered a type of disc bulge.
Post-Whiplash Injury Changes
- Osteophytes can develop in as early as 3-6 months after a whiplash injury.
Assessment of Spondylolisthesis
- In cases of spondylolisthesis, it is imperative to assess biomechanics of the accident, past and current symptoms, past medical and surgical history, previous accidents, and any genetic or pre-existing conditions.
