The average follow-up period was 4.5 years, during which fusion to L1-L2 showed the same clinical effectiveness as fusion to the
thoracic vertebrae. In the present study, when the fusion level was at L2, the maximum von Mises stresses on the UIV, UIV +1, and the FSU reached a peak whilst the normalized values also peaked (UIV: 175%; adjacent fibrous ring: 126%; UIV+1: 175%; and ISL/SSL complex force: 136%).

The fossil bird consists of four cervical vertebrae, two
thoracic vertebrae, the distal end of the left and right femora, and the middle part of the right fibula.
There were 33 hemivertebrae (Th5 2x, Th6 4x, Th7 5x, Th8 8x, Th9 4x, Th10 7x, Th11 2x, Th13 1x), 3 dogs with a 14th
thoracic vertebrae, 3 dogs with a block vertebrae (Th12-13 1x, Th13-L1 2x), 2 dogs with fused spinous processes (Th8-Th9, Th9-Th10), 1 dog with spina bifida, and 1 dog with only 12
thoracic vertebrae.
This model included 12
thoracic vertebrae and five lumbar vertebrae.
Physical examination revealed tenderness to palpation over the tenth and eleventh
thoracic vertebrae. The neurologic examination reveals spastic paraparesis with hyperreflexia.

X-ray vertebra (Figure 3): multiple
thoracic vertebrae anomaly present including the following:
Oversensitivity of the spinal process and paravertebral line of the
thoracic vertebrae was established.
Further analysis revealed right-sided vocal fold immobility, a large right-sided thyroid mass, paratracheal lymphadenopathy, and multiple lytic lesions of the
thoracic vertebrae (figure 1).
(22) Seizure-induced thoracic compression fractures in our case are differentiated from Scheuermann's disease based on the location in the upper
thoracic vertebrae. Scheuermann's disease occurs in the middle thoracic and thoracolumbar spines commonly and not in the upper thoracic spine.
To do so,, the animals were shaved previously between the 12 and 13
thoracic vertebrae (TFT and TLDA) and the 3 and 4 lumbar vertebrae (LFT and LLDA) according to Teixeira et al.
The ideal position for the umbilical venous catheter was defined as the catheter tip being visible between the 9th and 10th
thoracic vertebrae on an anterior-posterior chest radiograph.
