| | Cervical vertebrae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The most distinctive characteristic of this bone is the strong odontoid process which rises perpendicularly from the upper surface of the body. | | | These two parts are joined, outside the foramen, by a bar of bone which exhibits a deep sulcus on its upper surface for the passage of the corresponding spinal nerve. | | | Its chief peculiarity is that it has no body, and this is due to the fact that the body of the atlas has fused with that of the next vertebra. |

| | biology - Vertebra |
| | There are thirty-three (33) vertebrae in humans, including the five that are fused to form the sacrum and the four coccygeal bones. | | | Vertebrae (singular: vertebra) are the individual bones that make up the vertebral column (aka spine), is a flexuous and flexible column. | | | These vertebrae are very robust in construction, as they must support more weight than other vertebrae. |

| | MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Compression fractures of the back |
| | When the fracture occurs as a result of osteoporosis, the vertebrae in the thoracic (chest) and lower spine are usually affected, and symptoms may be worse with walking. | | | If there is bone in the spinal canal, surgery to remove the bone and fuse the vertebra together to stabilize the spine may be necessary. | | | A balloon is inserted into the bone through the needle and inflated, restoring the height of the vertebra. |

| | NASS - Spondylolisthesis (Slipped Vertebra) |
| | The spine is made up of a series of connected bones called "vertebrae." In about five percent of the adult population, there is a developmental crack in one of the vertebrae, usually at the point at which the lower (lumbar) part of the spine joins the tailbone (sacrum). | | | The pain may be caused by a pinched nerve, movement of the unstable cracked vertebra, or from nearby discs which are being affected. | | | A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study may be ordered to clearly show the soft tissue structures of the spine (including the nerves and discs between the vertebrae) and their relationship to the cracked vertebra and any slippage. |

| | One example is Perdriolle's measurement technique with the "torsiomètre" which can be used to measure regional mechanical torsion between the neutral vertebra (vertebra with no axial rotation as seen in the frontal plane) and the apical vertebra of a scoliotic section of the spine. | | | Scale of measurement: local measures (relating to a single vertebra), regional measurements (relating to a part of the spine, usually one curve) spinal measurements (relating to the whole spine) and global measurements (relating to the whole body). | | | A common use of constrained curvature is to measure the lordosis in a part of the spine bounded by end vertebrae of a scoliosis. |
