Spinal Instability

Part of the book series: New Procedures in Spinal Interventional Neuroradiology ((NPSIN))

Abstract

The spine is a complex structure formed by motion segments (MSs) which, by working together, create a mobile, elastic and resistant ensemble, able to support the head and trunk and protect the spinal cord, the nerve roots and the vertebral arteries.
