Assessment of age-related characteristics of the spine during X-ray diagnostics of its injuries

The age-related characteristics of the spine were studied on 945 spondylograms performed in two main projections and supplemented with special radiographs taken for medical reasons. The age-related dynamics of the main formations of the spine is reflected in terms of differential diagnosis of true radiological signs of spinal injuries and its age-related characteristics, simulating trauma. The results of X-ray anatomical studies of the spine, carried out in different age groups, showed that the assessment of the peculiarities of the X-ray anatomy of the spine in childhood, adolescence and adolescence contributes to the correct interpretation of X-ray data in pediatric neuropathology and neurosurgery, allowing to reduce the number of diagnostic errors, especially in traumatic injuries.
