CMS released the 2026 proposed payment rule for hospital outpatient departments and ASCs on July 15. The agency proposed removing 285 mostly musculoskeletal procedure codes from the inpatient-only ...

Rats exhibit significant recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injuries, albeit with altered gait expression and reduced speed and stepping frequency. These changes likely ...

New technique preserves major nerves, blood vessels, and other critical structures in a hard-to-access area. In a ...

Posterior C1-C2 fixation combined with C6-C7 AL corpectomy/fusion and posterior pedicle screw fixation may offer a desirable alternative approach for this complex case of cervical trauma. During ...

Whiplash injuries primarily affect the seven cervical vertebrae (C1-C7) and the intervertebral discs, which are shock-absorbing connective tissues located between the vertebrae, with the exception ...

The primary purpose was to determine which side of the spine cavitates during C1–2 rotatory HVLA thrust manipulation.

Cervical pain causes pain in the neck and upper part of the spine. However, in some cases, it can affect other areas of the spine, causing complications.

Background Spinal cord damage is a feature of many spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), but well-powered in vivo studies are lacking and links with disease severity and progression remain unclear. Here we ...

CT scan of the cervical spine showing a bony defect in the laminae of C1 and C2 from which the neck of the hypodense cystic formation expands subcutaneously and is continuous with the spinal canal, ...

The aim of the present study is to develop a comprehensive, geometric, nonlinear finite element model of the occipito-atlanto-axial (C0-C1-C2) complex. More accurate geometric and material properties ...
