English: X-ray of cervical spine (neck) in flexion and extension (bending backwards). This series of x-rays were part of pre-surgical evaluation to help identify spinal instability. Patient is a 37 year old male with a history of multiple neck traumas with pain and muscle spasms and dental implant in lower jaw. Excerpt from radiologist's report:
FINDINGS: Five views of the cervical spine, including flexion and extension, were performed. There is no evidence of fracture, bone destruction, or malalignment. There are degenerative bone and is changes at C5-6. There is no evidence of cervical instability on the flexion and extension views. The facet joints are well aligned. Bony spurring is narrowing the C5-6 neural foramina bilaterally.
IMPRESSION: Degenerative changes at C5-6. No evidence of instability.
Français : Ragioagraphie aux rayons X du cou (rachis cervical) en flexion puis en extension (vers l'arrière) ; élément d'une série de radiographies faisant partie d'une évaluation pré-chirurgicale pour aider à identifier une éventuelle instabilité vertébrale chez un patient (homme de 37 ans ayant des antécédents de traumatismes multiples cou, avec spasmes et douleurs musculaires, et implant dentaire à la mâchoire inférieure). Le Rapport du radiologue dit :
RÉSULTATS: Cinq vues de la partie cervicale de la colonne vertébrale ont été faites, dont en flexion et en extension. Il n'y a pas de signe de fracture, de destruction osseuse, ni de défaut d'alignement. On observe un phénomène de dégénérescence osseuse des changements en C5-6. Il n'existe aucune preuve de l'instabilité du cou sur les radios montrant la flexion et l'extension. Les facettes articulaires sont bien alignées. Bony spurring is narrowing the C5-6 neural foramina bilaterally.
IMPRESSION: Changements dégénératifs eu C5-6. Aucune preuve d'instabilité.
