cerebral vascular disease, po or nutrition, and other co-morbidities often
mandate a collective decision making process. In addition, the fundamentals of spinal anatomy, spinal embryology, biomechanics, biochemistry of
spinal implants, and radiologic changes that occur in the aging spine are
delineated for the clinician. Knowledge of non-operative/conservative treatment modalities such as land and aquatic therapy, acupuncture, injections,
medication, and yoga therapies is a prerequisite to the initial management of

If non-operative care does not sufficiently remedy the patient’s symptoms, operative intervention may be necessary. An emphasis on decision
making and operative options for differing pathologies such as spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, cervical myelopathy, osteoporotic fractures
and fixation, and spinal tumors are presented. Each chapter underscores the
relevant pathology, surgical technique, outcomes, and complications that can
occur in the operative treatment of the aging spine.
New developments and emerging technologies are introduced to the
clinician. The use of cyberknife therapy, nanotechnologies, endoscopic,
and ozone therapies are reviewed. Innovative approaches such as the lateral approach to the spine (Extreme Lateral [XLIF] and Guided Lateral
[GLIF]) are reviewed and described. Lastly, the economic impact of the
aging spine is reviewed in terms of the cost benefit of caring for spinal disorders in the aging population.

Embryology of the Spine
Zair Fishkin and John A. Bendo

k e y p o i n t s
Gastrulation is the beginning of organogenesis and the time when the
embryo is most susceptible to internal and external insults that may lead to
congenital defects.
Congenital spinal defects are often associated with abnormalities of the
cardiac and renal systems because both these organ systems arise out of
embryonic mesoderm precursors and develop at the same time as the spine.
Failure of the cranial and caudal neural pores to close in the first 25 to 27
days post gestation results in anencephaly and spina bifida, respectively.
Segmental shift of adjacent somites during embryogenesis may lead to defects
of formation.
Defects of segmentation may result from hemimetamer hypoplasia, osseous
metaplasia of the intervertebral disc, or a bony bar in the posterior elements.
e resulting deformity depends on the location of the congenital defect and
remaining active growth centers.
INTRODUCTION
Although a thorough understanding of mammalian embryology may not
be required for the spine clinician, a fundamental grasp of the concepts of
organogenesis, especially pertaining to the spine and central nervous system,
may provide insight to the pathoanatomy and pathophysiology of common
ailments affecting the spine. The following chapter is a summary of the key
points that drive embryogenesis and result in common orthopedic diseases
of the spine.
the ectoderm (Figure 1-2). The migrating cells that are sandwiched between
the endoderm and ectoderm layers will become the mesoderm. Control of
these migrations is maintained through various cell-signaling pathways that
also contribute to establishment of the body axes in all planes. The signaling
pathways, or organizer genes, are secreted by the primitive streak and mesoderm. The cranial direction of the embryonic disc is established by a specialized area of cells, referred to as the anterior visceral endoderm, that expresses
genes required for formation of the head and cerebrum. The dorsal-ventral
axis is regulated by growth factors in the TGF-β family including bone morphogenic protein-4, fibroblast growth factor, and the sonic hedgehog gene.

GASTRULATION
The intrauterine process by which the human form develops can be divided
into two phases, the embryonic period and the fetal period. The embryonic
period lasts from conception to approximately 52 days post gestation. It is
a vital period for organogenesis, occurring at a time when the embryo is
most prone to external and internal teratogenic insults. The next 7 months
encompass the fetal period, a time for tissue specialization and growth.
Immediately following fertilization, the zygote undergoes rapid cell division. Approximately 16 cells make up a ball-like structure called the morula.
By the eighth day of gestation, the morula develops two fluid-filled cavities,
the primitive yolk sac and the amniotic cyst. The cysts are separated by a
double-layer disc of cells. Of these two cell layers, the epiblast lies adjacent to
the amniotic sac; it will eventually give rise to all three germ layers during gastrulation, the process by which a two-layer disc becomes a three-layer disc.
Gastrulation begins in the third week of gestation and gives rise to three
distinct germ layers, the ectoderm, the meso d erm, and the endoderm. The
initial phase of ga strulation begins with formation of the primitive streak,
which is sometimes named the primitive groove (Figure 1-1). This midline
thickening of the germinal disc terminates in the primitive node. Under control of embryonic growth factors, cells of the epiblast layer migrate inward to
form the mesoderm and the endoderm through the process of invagination.
Cells migrating farthest from the epiderm and closest to the yolk sac become
the endoderm. The remaining epiblast cells will eventually differentiate into

Control of sidedness is regulated by fibroblast growth factor-8, Nodal, and
Lefty-2, all of which are secreted on the left side of the germinal disc. An
additional protein, Lefty-1, is secreted to prevent migration of the left sided
growth factors across the midline.

At the cranial end of the primitive streak is a specialized collection of
cells, the primitive node. Cells migrating cranially into the primitive node
will eventually form the prechordal plate, while those migrating more posterior will fuse with cells in the hypoblastic layer to form the notochordal
process. By day 16 or 17 of gestation, the lateral edges of the endoderm
continue to invaginate; the two edges will eventually meet and pinch off
the notochordal process, forming the definitive notochord. This is the earliest beginning of the bony vertebrae and the remainder of the skeleton. Cell
migration continues for approximately 7 days, at which point the primitive
streak begins to close in a cranial to caudal direction.

SOMITE PERIOD
The presence of the notochord induces proliferation of the mesoderm. At
approximately 17 days of gestation the mesoderm thickens into two masses,
each located directly adjacent to the notochord. This initial layer, termed the
paraxial mesoderm, continues to spread laterally to eventually differentiate
into three distinct areas, paraxial mesoderm, intermediate mesoderm, and
lateral mesoderm. During the somite period, lasting from approximately
19 to 30 days post fertilization, the paraxial mesoderm will develop into
segmental bulbs of tissue on either side of the notochord (Figure 1-3). The
first pair of somites will appear adjacent to the notochord, and they will
continue to develop in a cranial to caudal direction until a total of 42 to 44
pairs of somites appear by the end of the fifth week of gestation. The first 24
somite segments are responsible for the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine.
Somites 25 through 29 contribute to formation of the sacrum, while pairs
30 through 35 are responsible for coccyx formation. The rest of the 42 to
44 somite pairs disappear through a process of regression, which occurs at
approximately 6 weeks of gestation.
The somites continue to differentiate into two distinct tissues. Ventromedial cells develop into the sclerotome, while dorsolateral cells develop into
the dermatomyotome. The latter cells will eventually give rise to the integument system and dorsal musculature of the body, while the sclerotome will
migrate to surround the notochord and give rise to the vertebral column.
Regulation of sclerotome formation is controlled by proteins coded by the
sonic hedgehog gene, which is expressed by cells of the notochord. This
process of sclerotome migration will begin by the fourth week of gestation.
Each sclerotome will be divided by an intersegmental vessel and a loose area

development. Cross-sectional electron micrographs show the neural tube with
