A transverse process fracture is quite a rare injury. It usually results from a sudden extreme twisting or side bending movement. Occasionally it may be due to a direct impact to the process itself, although they are pretty well covered by muscle to this is not common.

Avulsion fractures of the transverse process may also occur in the lumbar spine. The Psoas muscle attaches to the transverse processes and a strong contraction of this muscle may cause one or more fractures.

Because of the location of the fracture it is unlikely to cause any instability of the spine or any damage to the spinal cord.

 

 

Treatment

 

 

If injury to the vertebrae is suspected always seek medical attention at soon as possible. An X-ray will be taken to confirm the diagnosis and the extent of the injury. The presence of associated injuries should also be investigated due to the level of force required to fracture a transverse process. CT or MRI scans may also be performed.

ging/ct-scansProviding there is no associated injury and the transverse process is not displaced, then the majority of fractures are treated conservatively, without surgery. A brace may be used to ensure the spine is kept still and straight to allow healing of the bone. A gradual introduction of spinal movement can be used once the bone has healed and the patient is pain-free.

    • Time stamped to skip the Bryce coddling and the excitement these guys showed just to say Dalton is an actual pro NFL qb lol. Coddle all you want but then when moneys on the line you're like yeah Dalton is the real deal compared to whatever that was  
    • For the deference given to Canales in this thread, let's remember that the guy has proven NOTHING and he also may not know what he's doing! Things could be different if he played all the starters for all three pre-season games. Bryce would've had three games that didn't count to prove the footwork drills etc all set in. He could have flung it as much as he wanted because the stats don't count. A lot more could have been observed in those three games. The Huddle and media both criticized his approach and both are right. And if Bryce STILL stunk it up in the 2nd week of the season, no one complains that he was benched too early as it would have been 5 games of action not 2.
    • He looked good in high school highlights I will say that
