All About the C7-T1 Spinal Segment (Cervicothoracic Junction)
The C7-T1 spinal motion segment connects the mobile cervical spine with the relatively rigid thoracic spine. This motion segment is susceptible to degeneration, trauma, and intervertebral disc problems.
Spinal Motion Segment: C7-T1 (Cervicothoracic Junction) …
The C7 T1 spinal motion segment, also called the cervicothoracic junction, is located where the cervical spine and thoracic spine connect. It consists of the C7 and T1 vertebrae, and the anatomical structures connecting them.
C7-T1 Treatment - Spine-health
C7-T1 injuries are commonly treated with nonsurgical methods. These injuries typically include: Non-progressive neurological deficits of the C8 and/or T1 nerve roots; Gross instability of the C7 and T1 vertebrae; Loss of 2 of the 3 columns of bony stability at the cervicothoracic junction (CTJ)
C7-T1 (Cervicothoracic Junction) | Osteopathy and …
The C7-T1 spinal segment connects the neck (cervical spine) with the upper back (thoracic spine). Together they form the cervicothoracic junction (CTJ). Important features of this junction are: The highly flexible neck transitions to an almost inflexible upper back. The CTJ is about half as flexible as the cervical spine.
The C7 Vertebra: Anatomy and 3D Illustrations - Innerbody
4 天之前 · The C7 is located in the spinal column inferior to the 6th cervical (C6) vertebra and superior to the first thoracic (T1) vertebra. As the transitional vertebra between the cervical and thoracic regions, the C7 has some features of both the cervical and thoracic vertebrae.
Clinical Examination of the Cervical Spine | NEJM
2023年10月25日 · The spinous process at C7 or T1 is the most prominent. Next, examine the cervical paraspinal muscles by palpating both sides of the neck, assessing for asymmetry or tenderness.
Spinal Stenosis - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
2023年6月12日 · Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the nerve roots are compressed by a number of pathologic factors, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness. The upper neck (cervical) and lower back (lumbar) areas most frequently are affected, although the thoracic spine also can be compressed most frequently by a disk herniation.
The Cervical Spine - Musculoskeletal Key
2016年12月27日 · The cervicothoracic junction (C7–T1) is located between the cervical spine with its great mobility and the limited motion of the superior thoracic spine. It is the area where the powerful muscles of the upper extremities and shoulder girdle insert.
Cervical Spine (Neck): What It Is, Anatomy & Disorders - Cleveland Clinic
2022年1月18日 · Your seven cervical vertebrae (C1 to C7) are connected at the back of the bone by a type of joint (called facet joints), which allow for the forward, backward and twisting motions of your neck. Your cervical spine is also surrounded by muscles, nerves, tendons and ligaments.
Is C7-T1 cervical disc replacement a viable technique: A case series
The C7-T1 level has unique anatomic and mechanical factors relative to the subaxial cervical spine. Serving as the transition from the cervical spine to the more rigid thoracic spine, the cervicothoracic junction has less flexibility than the cervical spine.
