Presentation and management of traumatic occipital spur fracture
2019, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Following thorough irrigation, the laceration was closed primarily, and the patient was discharged home. Occipital spurs, though largely asymptomatic, have been thought to cause significant local discomfort and pain on occasion [3,4] and in rare cases may require surgical drilling of the exuberant bone for relief [5]. The present case describes an unusual instance of fracture of the spur following direct impact.
Large enthesophytes in teenage skulls: Mechanical, inflammatory and genetic considerations
2018, Clinical BiomechanicsCitation Excerpt :Alarmingly, EEOP was identified in over 40% of our sample, with 10% presenting with an EOP ≥ 20 mm. The implications that excessive enthesophyte growth occurs in predisposed individuals (Marshall et al., 2015) and that large enthesophytes are exclusive to SpA sufferers (McGonagle et al., 2008) are concerning, as tissue remodelling associated with SpA leads to a largely irreversible structural damage, which has clear functional repercussions (Rudwaleit et al., 2009a). Importantly, early diagnosis and effective treatment to limit structural damage persist to be a primary challenge in the management of Spondyloarthritis (SpA) (Maksymowych, 2009).
