Special Article- Spine revisited: Principles and parlance redefined
Kothari ML.V, Mehta Lopa, Natarajan M, Kothari VM
Abstract
A revised appreciation of the evolution and the nature of bone in general and of vertebrae in particular, allows revisiting the human spine to usher in some new principles and more rational parlance, that embody spine's phylogeny, ontogeny, anatomy and physiology. Such an approach accords primacy to spine's soft-tissues, and relegates to its bones a secondary place.
