Lumbar Spine Fractures and Dislocations Workup
- Author: Federico C Vinas, MD; Chief Editor: Jeffrey A Goldstein, MD more...
Laboratory Studies
The evaluation of a patient with an acute lumbar spine fracture should include routine laboratory tests, such as the following:
Complete blood count (CBC)
Coagulation profile
Blood type and crossmatch
Spinal fractures often are associated with open fractures of the limbs, with significant blood loss and acute anemia. Additional spinal fractures at noncontiguous levels can occur, often in high-energy injuries.[23] These must be excluded. A careful medical history should be documented, and a careful physical examination, including a thorough neurologic examination, should be performed.
Imaging Studies
The combination of plain radiographs, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows bony and ligamentous injuries to be defined. Analysis of the radiologic studies should be based on biomechanical concepts. The information obtained from these studies allows classification of the injuries and identification of unstable injuries, and it aids in selection of the proper instrumentation to adequately stabilize the bony elements.[24]
Plain radiography
The most important initial radiographic examination is a complete spinal radiograph series including anteroposterior (AP), lateral, and oblique views. Upright, weightbearing, or flexion and extension radiographs may be useful in determining instability from ligamentous injuries in some cases. (See the image below.)
Analysis of plain radiographs should proceed in an organized sequence, beginning with the alignment on both AP and lateral radiographs, with identification of the margins of the vertebral bodies, spinolaminar line, articular facet joints, interspinous distance, and the position of the transverse processes. Oblique radiographs are useful in examining for pars interarticularis fractures and facet subluxation.
In patients with severe multiple traumatic injuries, the preliminary radiology studies performed in the trauma room are essential for the management of patients with traumatic injury to the spine. They will have an impact on the need for further testing and type of immediate management.
Abnormalities of alignment include disruption of the anterior or posterior vertebral body lines, disruption of the spinolaminar line, dislocated facets, and rotation of spinous processes. Kyphotic angulation often is associated with misalignment and bony fractures. Disruption of the posterior margin of the vertebral body line and widening of the interpediculate distance are important signs of vertebral disruption. Narrowing of a disk space usually accompanies a flexion injury and is seen at the level above the fractured vertebra. Widening of the facet joint or complete baring of the facets indicates a severe posterior ligamentous injury. These findings usually are associated with widening of the interspinous distance.
Computed tomography
After the analysis of routine spinal radiographs, CT is performed on areas of suspected bony injury. CT best defines complex fractures and involvement of the posterior elements. The scan should include one full vertebra above and one full vertebra below the level of the fracture, with a thinkness of 3-5 mm. Both bone and soft-tissue windows should be imaged and coronal and sagittal reconstructions obtained. (See the images below.)
Fractures oriented in a horizontal plane, such as Chance fractures and fracture-compression, may not be well visualized with axial CT. Coronal reconstructions facilitate the evaluation of complex spinal fractures. Tridimensional reconstructions can be used to better define the extent of canal compromise and posterior element fractures.[12]
Magnetic resonance imaging
MRI allows better visualization of the spinal cord and ligamentous structures.[25] On T2-weighted images, high signal intensity indicates spinal cord injury and edema. Ligament disruptions can sometimes be demonstrated with MRI. The anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments are best seen on T1- and T2-weighted images, respectively. Identifying disrupted ligaments frequently is easier than identifying intact ligaments.
One disadvantage of MRI is the need for special nonmagnetic mechanical ventilators and other life-support monitors. Some patients who are hemodynamically unstable may not be candidates for MRI. In addition, patients with multiple traumatic injuries frequently pelvic fractures stabilized with external fixators, which may produce significant metallic artifacts. MRI is contraindicated in patients with implanted pacemakers, dorsal column spinal cord stimulators, vagal nerve stimulators, or other metallic mechanical implants.
Other Tests
Electromyography and nerve conduction studies
Needle electrode muscle evaluation studies and nerve conduction studies are complementary techniques, usually performed together. Because results usually are negative if the studies are performed during the acute period, it is important to perform these studies during the subacute phase (1 or 2 weeks following the injury).
Electromyography (EMG) can show evidence of denervation in the lower-extremity muscles or abnormalities in the sphincter muscles. Examination of the paraspinal muscles makes it possible to distinguish lesions on the spinal cord or cauda equina from lesions in the lumbar or sacral plexus.
Nerve conduction studies are an essential part of the evaluation of suspected radiculopathy. For example, demonstration of a superficial peroneal sensory response in the face of L5 symptoms or a sural sensory response in the face of S1 symptoms is useful in localizing the lesions to proximal levels. Motor nerve conduction study results can be normal in most patients with lumbosacral radiculopathies, and peroneal motor conduction velocity may be mildly slowed.
Urodynamic studies
Patients with spinal fractures can develop urinary retention.
Methods of objectively testing the behavior of the lower urinary tract during filling, storage, and micturition include uroflowmetry, cystometry, sphincteric EMG, and combined studies. The appropriate use of urodynamic testing provides valuable information for the evaluation and subsequent treatment of neurourologic dysfunction.
Evoked potentials
Somatosensory evoked potentials and nerve action potentials may be employed both to illustrate preoperative dysfunction and to confirm postoperative improvement.

Quan Ju De (Peking Duck): Excellent meal
We found a large Peking Duck restaurant near the Peace Gate. Many famous people have dined here. It has a cheaper fast foody version next door. We ate a delicious meal there. We enjoyed that we could watch the chefs preparing the food, too.
To eat the duck: Pick up a pancake, add raw spring onions dipped in a few splashes of bean sauce to the centre. With your chopsticks add a few pieces of duck to the pancake. Roll it up and enjoy.
Peking duck is delicious and unless you are vegetarian I heartily recommend you try it.

Quanjude Beijing Schihahai Roast Duck Restaurant: Delicious Roasted Duck Restaurant
A friend of ours flew from Shanghai and gave us a treat at this restaurant.
This is one of the finest restaurant we've seen in Beijing that caters both
for locals and tourists. The restaurant specializes in Roast Duck meal, but
they also got a lot of other Chinese food in their menu. This is also a semi-
yum-cha once in a while someone walks with a trolley with different types of
dumplings and dim-sum. But above all the duck is nicely cooked and tasty.
At this restaurant the guests are also entertained by shows like sword skills
a cultural type traditional chinese music and dances plus other performance shows.
We both highly recommend this restaurant.*

The entrance is a different than most places. The entrance is on the road that goes around Qian Hai. There is a big yellow duck and thankfully there is a few hostesses that hang out there as they will direct you to an elevator to take down to the restaurant. Very open atmosphere. Service is above average and the Peking Duck is one of the best in Beijing.

Quanjude Qianmen Zhan (Original Outlet): Overrated Original Outlet
We passed by a few Quanjude outlets during our stay in Beijing but we insisted to dine in the original outlet at Qianmen - and what a disappointment indeed! First we were told the restaurant was closed and we were asked to dine at the fast-food dining area. Ducks and pancakes were served on disposable plastic plates and that totally killed the mood. Not much choice were available either. We did not border to order drinks at all. I felt ripped off by the outlet's reputation as the original location of the restaurant.... Disappointing indeed.
*The same review by the same author under the user ID gardenchime is also available at Tripadvisor.com*
Favorite Dish: Roast duck was not that bad, but the way the restaurant represent itself, e.g. serving on disposable plates and plastic cups, for me that is a real let down.

Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant: Peking Duck!
I stayed near to the Qianmen branch of this famous Peking Duck chain but the road that it's located on (Qianmen Dajie) was closed due to renovations before the Olympics and so I made my way to this branch, just off the pedestrianised Wangfujing Dajie, to the east of the Forbidden City.
It is thought that Beijing roast duck, like the tradition of roast turkey in America and the UK, owes its origin to the roast goose that is still popular in Europe on festive occasions. Westerners like Marco Polo brought certain European customs to China and may have introduced the concept of roasting poultry to their Chinese hosts during the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368). Ducks had long been domesticated in China and the plump ducks proved to be an excellent substitute for goose. However, there is another school of thought based upon certain records that show roast duck has a much longer history dating back as far as the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420 - 589). Up until the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 - 1279), ducks were roasted in the area around Jinling, today's Nanjing. However, the later Yuan Dynasty rulers moved their capital city to Beijing from Jinling and took with them their cuisine thus making roast duck popular in the city that was eventually to make it its very own specialty.
Whichever way, you can't come to Beijing and not have one and I decided to come to one of the best duck restaurants in the city. It isn't cheap with half a duck costing RMB120 but its well worth it in the end and is more of an occasion than just food.

A selection of Duck around Beijing!: Duck all the way!
Duck places in Beijing are plentiful!
Below are my recommendations:
Hua Jia Yi Yuan
Great duck and lots of other yummy dishes from all over China. Set in a traditional courtyard...very pretty and the price of duck although higher than before the Olympics is lower than other duck restaurants around town. It is on the 24hour restaurant street.
Hua Jia Yiyuan Restaurant
Da Dong
Have had duck here maybe only once. Different branches around town. Huge restaurant area. I have heard its popular with the expats.
Da Dong Restaurant
One of the oldest Duck chain restaurants in Beijing. Established in 1864, the oldest branch can be found in Qianmen Main Shopping Street. Prices are higher here but it really does have an old feel to it that will transport you back to ancient times!!!
Quanjude Restaurant
Eat lots and have fun!
Favorite Dish: The Beijing Duck of course! Also I love eating spicy dishes so I would go for Sichuan cuisine too such as:
Gong Bao Jiding (Spicy chicken and peanuts),
YuXiang Qiezi (delicious aubergine dish),
Xilanhua (brocolli like you've never tasted before with garlic!),
Dan Dan Mian (spicy noodles),
Si Ji Dou (green beans with a delicious sauce and spices on it)
These are just some of my favourites! Most restaurants these days have picture menus and English translations so you can just point!

Quan Ju De Restaurant: Peking Roast Duck
February 14, 2009. Valentine's Day. I took my wife Diana here for dinner to have some world famous Peking Roast Duck at the one and only Quanjude. Couldn't get in the same day at the original restaurant at No. 32 Qianmen Avenue so we went to the one at Houhai Lake.
We've had roast duck before, back home in Los Angeles, so the 45 minute wait for a table had me anxiously waiting and all the hype was intensifying. Service was amateur at best. They sat us at a dirty table and didn't clean it off until a few minutes after we were seated. When the table linen and plates were set we were given a knife and fork while every other patron in the place is eating with chopsticks and no fork in sight! We actually took that as an insult, we're no experts with chopsticks but we can easily manage eating our food with them. We ordered the Roast Duck with all the fixings and shrimp wrapped with bacon and asparagus as a separate dish. Side dish was decent but bacon was very undercooked as is typical throughout SE Asia.
The Roast Duck finally arrived and carved beautifully tableside. The carvers work swiftly and accurately, having it down perfect. The waiter came by and fixed us up a pancake each with duck and fixings and we dug in. I was a bit disappointed with all the hype the Quanjude chain gets regarding its roast duck. Don't get me wrong the duck was great, but honestly, I've had roast duck thats up to par, if not better, here in Los Angeles. For me the best part was the fatty skin carved from the belly that you dip in sugar.
Someday we'll return to Beijing and have roast duck again. Only this time I will have Da Dong and/or Li Qun before I even consider Quanjude.
Address: No. 57 Dianmen Street, Xicheng District

QUanjude: Famous Peking Duck
There are many branches of Quajjude restaurants in Beijing.
While other portions of the duck are consumed in the form of soup and cut up meat, the main dish is the crispy duck skin together wrapped in a thin pancake with other condiments like spring onion and hoisin sauce.
There are 3 combination of preparing how to put above wrapping together to get different flavor and eating sensation. Ask a well trained waitress to explain these three procedures and you can try them yourselves.
Cost is about 120 yuan or more per duck in most restaurants and you may want to order two ducks if your group wants to eat more. Usually Peking Duck is considered just a dish while you other other dishes for your lunch or dinner.
Beijing food
Wooh... there are millions of good restaurants in Beijing, only thinking of them already made me feel hungry.
But I doubt if there could be any coached tour to those food places. Perhaps the best way is to find a local companion (non-profit of course). can only give you some Must-Try's here:
Beijing Roast Duck: QuanJuDe @ QianMen is the best, but also the most expensive.
Boiled Mutton: DongLaiShun is traditional, you can see their polished copper boilers. HaiDiLao has the best taste in my opinion.
Other original Beijing snack: You can look for JiuMenXiaoChi @ HouHai, it's just OK. Hard to find a pure one nowadays, because specialty in making complicated folk foods is unlikely to make a living.
maybe above recommendations are too Beijing-lish, if you also wish to try other Chinese food, do go to JinDingXuan @ YongHeGong (GuangDong Style), MaLaYouHuo @ DongZhiMen (SiChuan Style), and RiChang @ DongDan(GuangDong Style).
Quanjude: Classy Joint, Excellent Duck
With reasonable prices considering the fancy atmosphere and the delicious food, this place is a good place to check Peking Duck off your list of things to do/eat in Beijing. It's 196 Yuan for a whole duck, 98 for half. Pancakes and sauce are extra. It had been highly recommended to me by a friend, and I was not disappointed. Just thinking about it makes me hungry . . .
Favorite Dish: The Roast Duck here is a must, of course. Be sure to eat the brain too - it's tastier than it looks. As a starter, the cream mushroom and duck meat soup is delicious, with just a touch of sweetness, it's the perfect preface to the actual duck.
Address: No. 309 Huizhong Beili, Chaoyang District

Quan Ju De Duck: OVERPRICED!
this place is know for it's ducks! most foreigners and Chinese people coming to Beijing from all over China will come here to have duck.
i've been here a few times, and other than the first time i went (with a tour) to the Qian Men restaurant i was disappointed. The Duck here is now just over priced and it is sometimes even worse than the duck i have had at normal restaurants for around 50 RMB.
the typical duck at Quan Ju De will cost around 200 RMB and other dishes are also rather expensive. But if what you're looking for is "mian zi" (face in chinese) or if you want to treat locals to a very "nice" (by that i mean expensive) meal. this is the place to go.
othe wise, if you just want good duck, i suggest you check out Li Qun Duck (it's in my other tip)

A tedious read,
This review is from: Ask Alice (Paperback)
I bought this book at a recent literary festival attended by D.J.Taylor and his wife Rachel Hore. She was giving a creative writing workshop and as his name never appeared under Speakers I can only assume that he was also involved with the writing class. And this was the feel the book had for me - more of a writing exercise than a novel I would read for pleasure. I felt he would have been better suited to writing short stories as there were spurts of interest along the way, but added together this novel became hard work. It took me nearly 2 weeks to read and I only finished because I had to lead the discussion at our reading group.
The central character is Alice, a teenage orphan from Kansas City, travelling to live with relatives in Bellevue. When the train breaks down en route she agrees to accompany Drouett, a salesman she had been talking to on the train, for dinner at a nearby hotel. She never re-boards the train. This sounds like a potential opening for an exciting story, but no, it is just one of many unexplained episodes in this novel. Eventually she makes her way to England by boat but we are never told why or how.
In a parallel story, that skips back and forth in time in relation to Alice's movements, we meet Ralph, also seemingly orphaned, who lives in a large mansion with servants and an elderly lady. When the lady dies he ends up with "Uncle", the brother of one of the servants, who strangely takes on the role of father to a boy he has never previously met. I'd already had enough and I was only 1/3 through the book.
Some interesting character deescriptions but I lost interest in their motives well before the end, which was also an anticlimax.
Witin our book group five of us had finished this and the score out of 5 was unanimously 2 to 3.

Label Denies Mariah Carey's Surprise Album Release
Last week, Mariah Carey told Billboard that she might be putting out her next album through a Beyonce Knowles-esque all-at-once release. However, the singer's label Def Jam has now released a statement denying the claim.
In the statement, the company's executive VP for media Laura Swanson insisted that Carey's oft-delayed 14th LP would be released in the traditional manner with a tracklist and official album cover preceding its arrival.
"Mariah will announce the date and title in advance of the on-sale date," she stated and added that the album would finally hit the stores in "late May."
The album, which was formerly titled "The Art of Letting Go", was initially planned to be released in May 2013. It was later pushed back several times due to various reasons, including the shoulder injury Carey obtained when filming a music video last summer.
The "Hero" singer recently graced the cover of Billboard and talked about the LP in the interview with the magazine. "I have to be the one that announces this, especially the title," she said. The star then added that the title would be taken from a "personal possession of mine that's part of an entity that I've had almost all my life."

David Caruso
For his part, Caruso, the son of a former Newsweek editor and a library administrator, is proud of his arresting edge. "My visibility may have gotten Hollywood to redefine what's attractive," he says. Maintaining that definition with daily workouts and low-fat food, Caruso shares his spacious West L.A. home with girlfriend Paris Papiro, 30, a former masseuse, and weekends with daughter Greta, 9 (by second wife, actress Rachel Ticotin). Set to star on the big screen in the remake of the 1947 thriller Kiss of Death, Caruso isn't getting a big head. The only difference now, he quipped, is that "women are not totally nauseous after seeing me." But they do get dizzy, David.

This, the third book of the trilogy, kept me turning pages at an incredible rate. However, like many of the other reviewers, I was disappointed in the ending. Not because it was depressing - on the contrary, stories in real life don't always have happy endings, so why do books always have to? - but because it seemed rushed. All of the mysteries that were built up over the course of the trilogy (the Elderlings, the Raiders and Forged Ones) were suddenly summed up and solved in just a few pages, leaving me thinking, "That was it?"
But regardless of my dislike for the ending, this trilogy was fantastic and I am looking forward to reading more of Robin Hobb's work.
If you've read the first 2 books in the Farseer Trilogy I do recommend reading 'Assassin's Quest' but don't start reading it expecting a great ending to this great trilogy because there isn't one in this book. I can only hope that the next Fitz trilogy that Ms Hobb is writing will grant Fitz some of the honor that he deserves.
The most refreshing thing about the series, has to be its take on the whole heroic fantasy bit, which has, to be honest, been done to death and beyond. However, the equally overdone, morose antihero type cliche (equally over done in contemporary fantasy, I fear) has also been avoided. This book, and you'll forgive me for being full of myself in saying this, takes, not the protagonist who isn't a hero (a la George RR Martin, or Elric), but the hero who isn't the protagonist.To clarify, I believe that while Fitz is the protagonist, obviously, of the book, he's not the protagonist of the story being told in the book.
I liked the ending a lot, although I can see what there is to dislike there, especially since we've been following Fitz around for as long as he remembers. It was in keeping with the hero not protagonist bit, however. I didn't think that the Red Ship thing was too rushed, and while it could have been spread out a bit more, I quite enjoyed the implication that, what with everything that had happened, the Red Ships were hardly important anymore.
The characters were extremely well done as well. The main characters, from Patience to Kettle to Fitz himself, were all characterized, not explicitly, which is the easiest way, but implicitly, through their actions. They all seemed human to me, which is another thing that is sometimes difficult to pull off in fantasy literature.
The plot was good too. 'Nough said about that I think.Read more ›
In this book, Fitz leaves Buckkeep and all of the other characters we've come to know and love over the first two books. He spends most of the 760-page book hiking across the continent, much of it alone, much of the rest with random throwaway characters who appear for the first time in this book (many of whom disappear after a couple chapters and proceed to have no more impact on the plot). It all feels like filler. When he finally meets up with other major characters, there's more walking, more filler... what happened to all the passion and intrigue of the first two books? It's hard to put my finger on what went wrong here. It feels as if the author just stopped caring. Even the writing became repetitive.
Then there's the end. It's just awful. Hobb leaves all the antagonists that have been wreaking havoc throughout the trilogy to be dealt with in the last 30 pages or so; inevitably, it's rushed. Not only that, it happens off-screen, in narrative summary. You thought after all this pain you'd actually get to see a final battle with the Red Ships, or Fitz assassinating Regal? Nope. The ending itself is decidedly bittersweet, but after this slog I no longer cared about the characters I'd been so emotionally attached to for the first two books, so it didn't really bother me.
I've tried to find some redeeming quality here, but honestly thought the book was hideous, and it definitely brings down my opinion of the trilogy. It's a shame because the first two books were so good... if only this had been a duology.
