What is Hirayama disease?

Hirayama disease (Monomelic Amyotrophy) is a rare, self-limiting lower motor neuron disorder primarily affecting young males, characterized by asymmetric muscle weakness and atrophy in the distal upper extremities (often sparing the brachioradialis muscle). Its cause is attributed to a disproportionate adolescent growth between the cervical spine and the dural sac, leading to dynamic spinal cord compression and ischemia upon neck flexion. Signs often include cold paresis and no sensory loss. Since the condition spontaneously stabilizes, treatment is conservative, mainly involving the use of a cervical collar to restrict neck flexion and prevent further cord compression.

What is central cord syndrome?

Central cord syndrome is a type of spinal cord injury that often occurs in patients with cervical spondylosis, especially after minor trauma or hyperextension of the neck. It primarily affects the cervical spinal cord, leading to neck pain, numbness in hands, and progressive weakness that can escalate to quadriparesis if untreated. This condition is more common in older adults with degenerative changes in the spine and can severely impact hand and arm function while sparing the legs to some extent. If you are experiencing neck pain, tingling, or weakness in your hands, it is crucial to seek expert care at Spine DRx Clinic - Dr Ramachandran immediately to prevent permanent disability and restore spinal health.

What Does a “Moth-Eaten Appearance” in Spinal Bones Mean?

This radiological sign refers to aggressive bone destruction, where the spine shows irregular, scattered holes, resembling fabric damaged by moths. It’s a critical indicator of serious underlying conditions such as multiple myeloma, primary bone lymphoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, osteomyelitis, metastatic spinal tumors, and other spinal infections or malignancies. These conditions can lead to severe complications like spinal instability, neurological deficits, and pathological fractures if not diagnosed and treated promptly.

At Spine DRx Clinic, our expert spine surgeon, Dr. Ramachandran G, specializes in diagnosing and treating complex spinal disorders using advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques. Early detection of such signs is crucial to prevent complications like spinal instability, neurological impairment, and chronic pain.

What are the common imaging techniques used to diagnose spine conditions?

Spine imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing back and neck issues. Techniques like X-ray (basic) help detect fractures and alignment issues, MRI (detailed) reveals soft tissue problems like disc herniation, CT scans (precise) offer clear views of bone structures, PET scans (functional) identify abnormal metabolic activity, and augmented reality imaging (interactive) enhances surgical planning with 3D visualization. These tools ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for conditions like scoliosis, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease.

What is Spinal Disc Degeneration or Spondylosis?

Spinal disc degeneration, also known as spondylosis, is a common age-related condition where the spinal discs—acting as cushions between vertebrae—gradually wear down over time. Much like a compact disc that deteriorates with use, spinal discs can lose flexibility and hydration, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Poor posture, obesity, smoking, and lack of exercise can accelerate this process. Maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, and practicing good spine care are essential for preventing early onset of degenerative disc disease and chronic back pain.

What is an Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture?

An osteoporotic vertebral fracture is a type of spinal injury that occurs when weakened fragile bones, due to osteoporosis, break under normal stress or minor trauma like bending, coughing, or even sneezing. These fractures, also known as vertebral compression fractures or fragility fractures , are common in older adults, especially women over 50, and often happen in the mid or lower back. They can cause sudden back pain, reduced height, and a hunched posture. Since osteoporosis makes bones fragile, these fractures may be the first sign of the condition. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent further fractures and maintain mobility.

Concerned about back pain or osteoporosis-related spine issues?

Don't wait until it's too late! Book your consultation with Dr. Ramachandran, a leading spine surgeon at Spine DRx Clinic, Bengaluru.

What is a burst fracture of the spine?

Imagine a vertebra as a solid structure, much like a brick. Now, picture a powerful force—like a bomb blast—hitting that brick with immense pressure. A burst fracture of the spine is similar: it’s a severe spinal injury where a vertebra shatters into multiple fragments due to high-impact trauma, such as a car accident, fall from height, or sports injury. These bone fragments can explode outward, sometimes invading the spinal canal and compressing the spinal cord, leading to symptoms like intense back pain, numbness, leg weakness, or difficulty walking. This type of thoracolumbar spine fracture often requires urgent medical attention and advanced imaging to assess the damage and determine the best course of treatment.
Spine DRx Clinic in Bengaluru, led by Dr. Ramachandran, offers expert diagnosis and treatment for burst fractures using advanced imaging and minimally invasive spine surgery.

What is augmented reality and it's application in spine care?

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that overlays digital information—such as 3D images, navigation cues, or anatomical models—onto the real-world environment, enhancing a user's perception and interaction with physical space. In spine care, AR is revolutionizing surgical precision by allowing spine surgeons to visualize internal anatomy in real time through head-mounted displays or screen-based systems. This enables more accurate placement of pedicle screws, reduces attention shifts during surgery, and minimizes radiation exposure by integrating navigation directly into the surgeon’s field of view. AR also supports minimally invasive procedures by projecting virtual guides onto the operative field, improving workflow efficiency and potentially lowering complication rates.

What is a TLIF/ Banana cage in spine surgery ?

A Banana TLIF cage is a curved spinal implant used in Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) surgery to treat conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, and chronic back pain. Its banana-like shape allows precise placement in the disc space, restoring spinal alignment, relieving nerve pressure, and promoting fusion between vertebrae. This minimally invasive technique offers faster recovery, reduced blood loss, and long-term pain relief.
