Retrospective radiographic myelogram measurements and long-term outcomes in horses undergoing cervical interbody fusion surgery: 22 cases
Fig 12
A-C: Postoperative transverse plane computed tomography images at the level of the cervical articular process joints obtained 3.4 years after cervical interbody fusion at C5-6 (Horse #41).
A. Hounsfield measurements of the C4-5 articular process joints (cranial to the surgical site). B. Hounsfield measurements of the C5-6 articular process joints (at the surgical site). C. Hounsfield measurements of the C6-7 articular process joints (caudal to the surgical site). In images A and C, the articular processes have thick cortical and subchondral bone with well-defined, trabecular bone. In image B, the operated site, the articular processes have poorly defined bony trabecular pattern and diffusely reduced mineral attenuation and thickness of the subchondral and cortical bone.
