Cortical Bone Trajectory Screws for Middle Upper Thoracic: a Anatomico-Radiological Study Introduction Pedicle screw fixation system has been widely used in spinal surgery due to its biomechanical advantage in three-dimensional fixation and short-segment fixation. However‚ Complications such as screw loosening‚ pullout and broken‚ often lead to loss of surgical construct stability‚ particularly in patients with poor bone quality [1-4]. The cortical bone trajectory (CBT)[5] technique is a theoretical

‘socket’ created by the glenoid fossa of the scapula. This allows for a wide range of motion around several axes. There are two main bones that make up the shoulder joint‚ the humerus and the scapula. The ball of the humerus is stabilized and cushioned by cartilage around the glenoid fossa socket. Ligaments connect the bones together and tendons then connect those bones to surrounding muscles. For example‚ the

The clavicle helps to support the muscles of the arm and neck. 3. There are several markings on the Humerus bone that can define which one it is‚ right or left.

The respiratory system is composed of the nasal cavity‚ nostril‚ oral cavity‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ carina of trachea‚ right main bronchus‚ right lung‚ left main bronchus‚ left lung‚ and diaphragm. These major organs collectively work together to give the body oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide as we breathe. In order for the respiratory system to be fully capable of function‚ four procedures (pulmonary ventilation‚ external respiration‚ transport of respiratory gases‚ internal respiration)

They focus on the lengths of the bones to see if they compare with the average age range.. they also look for conditions of the bones. Critical Thinking Questions 1.

As its common name says‚ Stone Man’s Disease causes “bone tissue begins to grow where muscles‚ tendons‚ and other connective tissues should be‚ effectively restricting movement” (Torres‚ 2013). As a result‚ the boy’s ligaments‚ tendons‚ and muscles form into solid bone. The individual with the disease will eventually develop a second skeleton over top of his/her original one (Panter‚ 2013).

The Musculoskeletal System The Musculoskeletal System combines the skeletal system and the muscular system. All of the bones‚ cartilage‚ muscles‚ joints‚ tendons and ligaments in a person’s body compose what is known as the musculoskeletal system. The bones provide the body with a framework‚ giving it shape and support; they also serve as protection for internal organs such as the lungs and liver. Muscles are fibres that help to make deliberate movement of a body part or involuntary movement within
