    The Relationship of the Vertebral Artery with Anatomical Landmarks in the Posterior Craniovertebral Junction of Fresh Human Cadavers in the Turkish Population
    (2016) Akar, Aykan; Civelek, Erdinc; Cansever, Tufan; Aydemir, Fatih; Altinors, Mehmet Nur; 27161466
    AIM: Surgical anatomy concerning the posterior craniovertebral region in fresh human cadavers was studied to provide most accurate information for the surgical approach. MATERIAL and METHODS: In thirty-two fresh human cadavers, the distance from the posterior tubercle to the sulcus of vertebral artery (VA), the thickness and length of the third segment of VA (V3), the distance of C1/C2 facet to V3, the length, height and shape of the C2 ganglion to the neighboring structures, the distance from medial border of C1 lateral mass to dura mater, the distance of the transverse process of atlas to mastoid tip, the thickness of C1 posterior arcus were measured. RESULTS: There were variations of sulcus of VA in 14 of 32 cadavers (43.7%), the right VA was larger in 23 cadavers (71.8%). The ganglion was found over the C1 lateral mass screw entry point in 45 of 64 ganglions (70.31%) and below the screw entry point in 19 of 64 ganglions (29.69%). The distance of the medial border of the C1 lateral mass to dural tube was 3.81 +/- 0.55 mm at the right side and 3.91 +/- 0.59 mm at the left. The thickness of C1 posterior arch was 3.73 +/- 0.75 mm at the right side and 3.75 +/- 0.77 mm at the left. The mean distance from the transverse process of C1 to the mastoid tip was 15.82 +/- 4.49 mm at the right side and 15.46 +/- 4.38 mm at the left. CONCLUSION: This is the most comprehensive and only fresh cadaver study about this region in the literature.

    Vertebroplasty in Vertebral Compression Fractures: Single Institute Experience with 49 Cases
    (2017) Altınel, Faruk; Soylev, Gozde Ozcan; Tuncali, Bahattin; Altinors, Mehmet Nur; 0000-0002-7898-2943; 0000-0001-8742-5543; 0000-0002-8326-3900; AAJ-7840-2021; AAJ-4917-2021; AAJ-5382-2021
    Objective: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is the preferred treatment option for vertebral compression fractures (VCF). In this study, the efficacy and complications of PVP were investigated among 49 patients with VCF. Methods: Forty-nine patients with VCF due to osteoporosis, trauma, osteolytic bone tumors, metastases or leukemia who were admitted to our hospital between 2012 and 2015 and treated with PVP were included in the study. In patients' preoperative and postoperative evaluation, a visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess back and leg pain, preoperative routine lumbar vertebral radiography was used for fracture morphology, lumbar magnetic resonance imaging was performed, and the segmental kyphotic angle, vertebral corpus compression rate, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement volume, and diffusion of PMMA were recorded. Results: Preoperative and postoperative VAS scores were 8.6 +/- 0.9 vs. 1.13 +/- 1.1 (p < 0.01). The approximate compression rate was 24.72 +/- 13.99 %, the ratio of approximate restoration height was 3.47 +/- 5.36, and the mean kyphosis angle was 7.35 +/- 6.81 degrees. The mean pre- and postoperative values of vertebral height were 1.83 +/- 0.39 cm vs1.88 +/- 0.36 cm (P <.01). Conclusion: In this study, preoperative pain in patients with VCF prominently diminished in the postoperative early and late phase. After PVP, vertebral height showed a subtle increase.
