Question 1

what treatment is recomended for broken l1 and t12 vertibrae?

Accepted Answer

Not an issue for: Self treatment. Please see your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Question 2

how long after getting a spinal fusion in the t12-l1 would i be able to go to classes?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Fusions can be done in different ways. A more minimally invasive procedure ( if appropriate) could have you back in 2-4 weeks. Other types could take months for recovery. Realize that the underlying problem that requires a fusion determines how extensive the procedure has to be. In addition, a t12-l1 fusion is an unusual place to need this type of surgery, so more info would be needed.

Question 3

what is displacement of t12/l1 of conus medullaris and is this dangerous. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

It could cause: symptoms,  depending on the degree of displacement/compression.  Signs of conus medullaris syndrome include low back pain, numbness in the groin or inner thighs, leg numbness, and foot numbness. Other symptoms include leg weakness, loss of bladder control, difficulty walking.  You should discuss with your doctor what the MRI finding means in terms of your clinical situation.

Question 4

is there any cure for spinal cord injury at level t12- l1?

Accepted Answer

No : As yet there is no "cure" for spinal cord injury. That said there are  many  potential areas under investigation.  There are   ways  to improve on current function depending on the completeness of the injury. A cord injury at t12 L1 is often  a lower motor neuron injury and there is some possibility of peripheral nerve recovery and repair on its own.

Question 5

what does "t12-l1 l1-l4 no focal disk herniation, significant central canal or neural foraminal narrowing" indicate?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Translation: thoracic 12th vertebra to lumbar 1 (first lumbar) vertebra, lumbar 1 to lumbar 4 (there are 5 lumbar vertebrae) there is nothing protruding from the disc and pressing on the nerves, no bone spurs, outside the spinal canal where nerves exit, no pressure. All good.

Question 6

what does this mean? "t12-l1 l1-l4 no focal disk herniation, significant central canal or neural foraminal narrowing"?

Accepted Answer

MRI: These are some of most common problems seen on MRI. So this essentially means that these levels of your spine are normal.

Accepted Answer

Question 8

grade1 anterolisthesis of l5 on s1, congenital anterior wedge deformities of t12 l1 present. bilateral l5 pars interarticularis defects. means what?

Accepted Answer

The tiny plates: which help stabilize the veterbrae one with another are missing at the 5th Lumbar Veertebral level causing a SLIPPAGE of the L-5 veterbrae on the sacrum (S1).  this is associated with a smaller height of two of the veterbrae ABOVE the defect  T-12 (the lowest chest (thoracic) veterbrae and the highest Lumbar (low back) veterbrae..... Hope this helps..difficult to explain without a "pointer"

Question 9

i have ao spine internal fixation t12 - l1 for burst fracture15 years ago. can bolts/rods fall into hip or groin as i have pain from l1 down to groin.

Accepted Answer

Back pain: Less likely from bolts or rods dropping. If you have a spinal disease at a level, you can have  pain below that level because of cord compression . Please get examined by a doctor asap.

Question 10

what does this mean..there is degeneration of the t12/l1 with a posterior disc osteophyte displacing the conus medullaris posteriorly?

Accepted Answer

There is : degenerative arthritic change at the T12-L1 spinal level, the junction of the thoracic and lumbar spine.  Disc protrusion or bulge and osteophyte(arthritic bony overgrowth) are extending into the spinal canal and pushing or compressing the conus(the lower part of the spinal cord).
