Atlantoaxial Instability Overview: Atlantoaxial instability is an uncommon condition of dogs in which there is abnormal movement in the neck, between the atlas (first cervical vertebra) and axis (second vertebra). This instability allows abnormal bending between the two bones, which causes compression of the spinal cord.

Aprataxin Aprataxin removes AMP from DNA ends following abortive ligation attempts by DNA Ligase IV during non-homologous end joining, thereby permitting subsequent attempts at ligation. DNA strand breaks. Ataxia oculomotor apraxia-1 is a neurological disorder caused by mutations in the APTX gene that encodes aprataxin. The neurological disorder appears to be caused by the gradual accumulation of unrepaired DNA strand breaks resulting from abortive DNA ligation events.

Original articleOs acromiale, a cause of shoulder pain, not to be overlooked Os acromiale is a failure of fusion of the acromial process. It is usually asymptomatic and discovered by chance. When it is painful a differential diagnosis must be made in relation to the subacromial impingement syndrome. Unstable os acromiale is the cause of atypical scapulalgias.

MRI Web Clinic â September 2009 Lateral view of the shoulder with the humerus removed demonstrates the restraints of the glenohumeral joint. Inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL), middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL), superior glenohumeral ligament (SGHL), long head of the biceps (LHB), and coracohumeral ligament (CHL).The supraspinatus (Sup), infraspinatus (Is), subscapularis (Sub), and teres minor (Tm), and coracoacromial ligament (CAL) are indicated. fat suppressed T1-weighted MR arthrogram of a sublabral hole (arrow). Sublabral holes/foramina occur anterosuperiorly (1 o'clock to 3 o'clock position). Note the smoothly contoured, otherwise normal appearing anterior superior labrum (arrow head), and middle glenohumeral ligament (short arrow).

5 Ways to Organize Your Study Space Better Organize study materials in separate binders by course or subject. Mark them clearly so you don’t waste time searching through all of them every time. Organize your computer files as well, and use descriptive names. Use a bulletin board, cork tiles, and wall calendar to post notes and assignments.

Atlantoaxial Instability Etiology. AAI or AAS associated with bony abnormalities can be caused by abnormal development or ossification of the odontoid or fracture with or without remodeling. In addition, tumors can be a source of bony destruction, causing a pathologic fracture of either C1 or C2 and resulting in AAI.

Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament: A Review of Literature Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a condition of abnormal calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. The most common location is at the cervical spine region.A) The sagittal computerized tomography scan of 66-year-old male patient showed mixed type ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). (B) Follow up copmuted tomography scan of two years after laminoplasty. OPLL mass grew the most 2 years ...

- sidebending and flexion/extension. The transverse ligament holds the dens against the anterior arch of the atlas. It has an upward prolongation to the occiput and a caudal extension to the posterior surface of the body of the axis, forming the cruciform ligament of the atlas. Its function is to restrict axial rotation, Fig. 1: Anatomical sketch of the atlas (1) and dens axis (2) from above, showing the atlanto-alar (3) and the occipito-alar ligaments (4) as well as the transverse (5) and the anterior atlanto-dental ligaments (6).

"Spine ""Instability""" Spinal Instability is a term coined to describe abnormal movement between one vertebra and another. As a disc degenerates it loses tension or ‘turgor’ which allows the disc to bulge and permits increasing movements to take place between the vertebrae. The loss of disc height causes the facet joints to displace and override beyond their correct congruent alignment.

Lumbar Instability Definition/Description. Lumbar instability is an important cause of low back pain and can be associated with substantial disability. The word ‘instability’ is still poorly defined. But it is most widely believed that the loss of a normal pattern of spinal motion causes pain and/or neurologic dysfunction.

Arthroscopic Suture Anchor Capsulorrhaphy Versus Suture Capsulorrhaphy in a Cadaveric Model (SS-01) Arthroscopic capsulorrhaphy utilizing either a solitary suture or suture anchor has proven effective in alleviating instability symptoms. To date, no study was found that determined whether suture capsulorrhaphy or suture anchor capsulorrhaphy is more effective at reducing anterior translation.

Scapho-lunate advanced collapse arthritis Scapho-lunate advanced collapse arthritis. Scapho-lunate advanced collapse arthritis or SLAC occurs as the result of unrecognised injury to the ligament between the scaphoid and the lunate. This ligament is a very important one in the wrist and is the most frequently injured in falls onto the outstretched hand.

3D Skeletal System: Atlas, Axis, and the Atlanto-Axial Relationship The ligaments in the spine support and reinforce the joints between the vertebrae. The atlas and axis in particular work with the ligaments to move the neck.

Cervical Spine Instability Cervical Spine Instability. Painful excessive motion of the vertebral bodies within the cervical spine in relation to one another is considered cervical spine instability. Instability in this region will make a patient feel as if the neck and upper spine are moving at a greater movement than what the bone, muscle and ligament can hold. The feeling is that a patient must be careful with head motion or a sharp pain and “catch” will occur.
