Woodring, J.H., Lee, C. and Duncan, V. (1993) Transverse Process Fractures of the Cervical Vertebrae Are They Insignificant Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 34, 797-802.

Abstract Background: Isolated thoracolumbar vertebral transverse process fractures (TPF) are often considered a stable injury. However, the use of advanced imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging ...

A subsequent MRI and CT-scan found high rates of metal artefacts, indicating signs of local recurrence paravertebrally at the right transverse process of the 6th vertebrae (Figure 6).

FCV, also known as block vertebra may be congenital (chorda dorsalis) or acquired (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or trauma or infections). It has an incidence of 0.4–0.7% and may affect any segment of ...

" (The transverse process) was a tough one to learn in medical school, but if you think about our spine, it's a bunch of bones that are stacked up, right?" Dr. Kohli said, via MSN.

While a transverse process fracture is technically an injury to the spine, it is not an injury to the spinal cord — the two are nowhere near one another (relatively speaking).

The purpose of spinal fusion surgery is to reduce the pain from the vertebrae by joining two or more vertebrae by using pedicle screws and connecting rods. For the accuracy of surgery, the spinal ...
