Spine instability is an important cause of back pain and disability. The most common causes of clinical instability are spinal trauma, congenital anomalies, inflammatory disorders, degenerative disease, and prior surgery. Imaging of spine instability relies on both static anatomic imaging and functional assessment of spine motion. This chapter reviews the complexity of defining instability and reviews the common antecedents of spine instability and their imaging features.
脊柱不稳定是背痛和残疾的重要原因。临床不稳定的最常见原因是脊柱创伤、先天性异常、炎症性疾病、退行性疾病和既往手术。脊柱不稳定的影像学检查依赖于静态解剖成像和脊柱运动的功能评估。本章回顾了定义不稳定的复杂性,并回顾了脊柱不稳定的常见病因及其影像学特征。
