English: X-ray of cervical spine (neck) in extension (bending backwards). This series of x-rays were part of pre-surgical evaluation to help identify spinal instability. Patient is a 37 year old male with a history of multiple neck traumas with pain and muscle spasms and dental implant in lower jaw. Excerpt from radiologist's report:
FINDINGS: Five views of the cervical spine, including flexion and extension, were performed. There is no evidence of fracture, bone destruction, or malalignment. There are degenerative bone and is changes at C5-6. There is no evidence of cervical instability on the flexion and extension views. The facet joints are well aligned. Bony spurring is narrowing the C5-6 neural foramina bilaterally.
IMPRESSION: Degenerative changes at C5-6. No evidence of instability.
