Wedge compression deformity at T11 and T12 refers to a condition where the vertebral bodies of the thoracic spine become compressed and wedge-shaped. This can result in a decrease in the height of the front of the vertebrae, leading to a forward curvature of the spine. It is often associated with osteoporosis or trauma to the spine.

What is superior T12 and T11 endplate compression?

Superior T12 and T11 endplate compression refers to a condition where the upper surfaces of the T12 and T11 vertebrae are compressed, often due to trauma, osteoporosis, or degenerative disc disease. This compression can lead to a decrease in vertebral height, potentially causing pain, nerve compression, or spinal instability. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies like X-rays or MRIs, and treatment options may range from conservative management, such as physical therapy, to surgical intervention in more severe cases.


On a MRI lumber spine report What is T11-12 and T12-L1?

T11-12 and T12-L1 refer to the intervertebral disc spaces and the adjacent vertebrae in the thoracic and lumbar spine. T11-12 indicates the space between the 11th thoracic vertebra (T11) and the 12th thoracic vertebra (T12), while T12-L1 indicates the space between the 12th thoracic vertebra (T12) and the 1st lumbar vertebra (L1). These designations are important for assessing disc health, potential herniation, and other spinal conditions in those specific regions.


The inferior surface of the T11 articulates with?

The inferior surface of the T11 vertebra articulates with the superior surface of the T12 vertebra below it, forming a facet joint that allows for movement and stability of the thoracic spine. This articulation plays a role in supporting the torso and facilitating movement in the mid-back region.


Where is T11 located in your back?

The T11 vertebra is located in the middle of the thoracic spine, which is the region of the spine in the mid-back area. It is two levels below the last rib and one level above the T12 vertebra.


What does this mean results of MRI-t11-t12 t12-L1 and L1-L2 endplate hypertophy right lateral recess and subarticular zone?

IAsk your physician to explain it to you in detail, but basically it means that magnetic resonance imaging of a part of [someone's] spine showed a problem in the spine, specifically right around and/or just above the top of the small of the back, related to an unusually large growth there.

These are the names given to the bottom of the thoracic vertebrae. Attached to these two bertebrae are the floating ribs.


What is chronic compression deformity of the t12?

Break down phrases word by word to grasp the meaning. In the phrase, " chronic compression deformity", chronic means long-term. It's usually an injury or condition that is at minimum over 6 months old (to years old). A chronic condition can start at any age. Compression isn't specified here but generally has to do with bone, often spinal vertebra. But it doesn't say 'old compression fracture', which is a common cause of compression of vertebra. Osteoporosis is also a common cause leading to collapse or compressing of one bony structure onto another bony structure. A deformity in medical parlance is any abnormal positioning of a body part. So for example, if your fingers permanently curled into a claw-like position, often caused by severe arthritis or nerve injury, doctors might refer to that as a "deformity". However, medical people try to get away from older terms like deformity, because it sounds so negatively biased against the person.So though your question doesn't specify what is "compressed", my best guess would be a long-ago (chronic) injury or circumstance that caused a collapse of a bony structure, most likely of one or more spinal vertebra, that when it healed left the person hunched over, or a body part twisted or in some other abnormal position.Compression injuries often affect nerves in the area, since nerves pass through or over bony structures. So the deformity could be from long term pressure (compression) on a spinal or peripheral nerve.


Could I see a Picture of floating rib?

Hahahah no. But there are 4 floating ribs (2 each side). These are the bottom of the 12. Their posterior attachment is to T11 and T12 and they have no anterior atachment, they are not connected to the sternum by cartilage.


How many t12 florecensent use 200watts?

It depends on the wattage of each T12 fluorescent tube. However, a typical T12 fluorescent tube is around 40 watts. So, if you have a total of 200 watts available, you could power five T12 fluorescent tubes.


What is the difference between steel bar Y12 and steel bar T12?

What is the difference between T12 and F12 fluorescent tubes and are they interchangeable?

T12 and F12 tubes have different diameters - T12 tubes are 1.5 inches in diameter while F12 tubes are 1 inch in diameter. They are not interchangeable because they have different fixtures and ballasts. T12 tubes are being phased out due to energy efficiency regulations.
