Spine
-
Basic science study measuring anatomical features of the cervical and lumbar spine in rat with normalized comparison with the human. ⋯ The similar spinal morphology in the axial plane between rats and humans supports using the rat spine as an appropriate surrogate for modeling axial and shear loading of the human spine.
-
A case report and literature review. ⋯ Though hitherto unreported, this rare anomaly of anomalous spinous process needs to be borne in mind while evaluating a relatively young patient with myelopathy. Surgical excision of the free-floating anomalous spinous process yields satisfactory outcome.
