Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Trunk Musculature and Intervertebral Discs in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury with Thoracolumbar Vertebral Fractures: A Prospective Study

This study is a prospective clinical study. This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of trunk musculature and intervertebral discs by using magnetic resonance imaging in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) with thoracic and lumbar fractures.

description This study is a prospective clinical study. This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of trunk musculature and intervertebral discs by using magnetic resonance imaging in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) with thoracic and lumbar fractures. Muscle atrophy is an immediate consequence of SCI and is associated with secondary complications. At present, there are limited clinical data on muscle and disc responses to fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. A total of 51 patients with a mean age of 31.75±10.42 years who suffered traumatic SCI were included in this study. Complete neurological examinations (American Spinal Injury Association grading) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed at the time of admission and at 3-6 months after injury to study the neurological status and disc and trunk parameters. The type of management (operative or conservative) was decided on the basis of clinical, radiological, and MRI evaluations, and a robust rehabilitation program was initiated. Disc parameters including disc angle, skin angle, cross-sectional area (CSA), and disc height and trunk parameters (mean trunk width, mean trunk depth, and CSA of the lumbar muscles) decreased significantly (p

Neither initial neurological status (complete vs. incomplete) nor type of management (operative vs. conservative) had a significant effect on these parameters. Spinal trauma leads to alterations in the morphology of the vertebral column, spinal cord, intervertebral discs, and paraspinal muscles in the initial phase of injury. The extent of these changes may determine the initial neurological deficit and subsequent recovery. Although this study did not identify any statistically significant effect of neurological status or management strategy on these parameters, rehabilitation was found to result in the improvement of these parameters in the later phase of recovery. Future studies are required to evaluate the exact causes of these alterations and the potential benefits of rehabilitation strategies and to minimize these changes.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1976-1902</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1976-7846</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.31616/asj.2019.0003</identifier><identifier>PMID: 32213800</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Korea (South): Korean Society of Spine Surgery</publisher><subject>Clinical Study ; intervertebral disc ; magnetic resonance imaging ; muscles ; rehabilitation ; spinal cord injuries ; spinal fractures ; 정형외과학</subject><ispartof>Asian Spine Journal, 2020, 14(6), , pp.829-846</ispartof><rights>Copyright © 2020 by Korean Society of Spine Surgery 2020</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c490t-4a0d724f47921b0ebb27c5b94b238aa3dc256db043da5d49447265033109f4ec3</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c490t-4a0d724f47921b0ebb27c5b94b238aa3dc256db043da5d49447265033109f4ec3</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7788370/pdf/$$EPDF$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$Hfree_for_read</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7788370/$$EHTML$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$Hfree_for_read</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,723,776,780,881,27901,27902,36990,53766,53768</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32213800$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.kci.go.kr/kciportal/ci/sereArticleSearch/ciSereArtiView.kci?sereArticleSearchBean.artiId=ART002674396$$DAccess content in National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF)$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Singh, Roop</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Wadhwani, Jitendra</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Punia, Gaurav</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Rohilla, Rajesh Kumar</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Kaur, Kiranpreet</creatorcontrib><title>Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Trunk Musculature and Intervertebral Discs in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury with Thoracolumbar Vertebral Fractures: A Prospective Study</title><title>Asian spine journal</title><addtitle>Asian Spine J</addtitle><description>This study is a prospective clinical study.
