To X-ray anatomical characterization of injuries of articular and other isolated elements of the spine

The results of X-ray examination of 208 patients (164 men, 44 women) with injuries of the arches, articular processes and intervertebral discs with detailed X-ray anatomical characteristics of these sections were analyzed. Along with the usual X-ray research methods, oblique 3/4 spine images, lateposition images, and tomograms were used. The use of modern methods of X-ray examination and knowledge of X-ray anatomy made it possible to skillfully diagnose damage to the arches, articular processes and intervertebral discs, which is of clinical importance, since there is not always a parallelism between the subjective complaints of the victim, the objective data of his study and the true severity of the anatomical damage to the constituent elements of the spine.
