Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The interpretation of the chest films of hospitalized quadriplegic and paraplegic patients over a one-year period revealed three quadriplegic patients with superior marginal rib defects. The resorptive defect involved the posterior portion of the third through seventh ribs. The etiology is probably intercostal muscle atrophy with resulting loss of muscle stress causing bone resorption. |
