Each vertebrae in your spine has two transverse processes, one on each side of the vertebrae. They extend off both sides of the spine, and the transverse process is the location where your muscles and ligaments attach to the spinal vertebrae.

2025年1月18日 · The transverse process is a thin, elongated bony projection that extends laterally (outward) from the main body of a vertebra. It is shaped like a small wing or fin, and is typically pointed at the end.

When one or more of those outside processes break, we call that a transverse process fracture (TPF). Here, I will detail the causes, symptoms, how this fracture is diagnosed and finally, how I would treat this type of fracture.

2022年6月6日 · A transverse process is a wing-like projection of bone that allows back muscles and ligaments to attach to the spine. There are two transverse processes on each vertebra, one on each side (left and right).

The transverse process is a small bony protrusion located on the right and left sides of each vertebra. They serve as the point of attachment for the muscles and ligaments of the spine, as well as the point of articulation of the ribs (in the dorsal column, between D1 and D12).

The transverse process is the bony projection on either side of your vertebrae (the bones that make up your spinal column). They’re usually caused by traumas like any other type of broken bone. Some transverse process fractures are caused by osteoporosis weakening your bones without you knowing.

The transverse processes are bony protrusions extending laterally from each side of the vertebral arch. Each vertebra has two transverse processes, which serve multiple purposes: Muscle and Ligament Attachment: Provide attachment sites for muscles and …

2020年12月13日 · The transverse processes of the vertebrae extend from the vertebral arch at the point where the pedicles meet the lamina, and lie in between the superior and inferior articular processes. A facet on the transverse processes of the thoracic vertebrae serves as the point of articulation for the tubercles of the rib .

Transverse Process. The transverse processes of the thoracic and lumbar spine are relatively thin, consisting of both cortical and cancellous bone. In the thoracic spine, the transverse process projects dorsolaterally and articulates at its tip with the like-numbered rib. In the lumbar spine, the transverse processes project straight laterally ...

The transverse processes, two in number, project one at either side from the point where the lamina joins the pedicle, between the superior and inferior articular processes. They serve for the attachment of muscles and ligaments.
