BACKGROUND: The finite element method (FEM) is an efficient and powerful tool for studying human spine biomechanics. OBJECTIVE: In this study, a detailed asymmetric three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model of the upper cervical spine was developed from the computed tomography (CT) scan data to analyze the effect of ligaments and facet joints on the stability of the upper cervical spine. METHODS: A 3D FE model was validated against data obtained from previously published works, which were performed in vitro and FE analysis of vertebrae under three types of loads, i.e. flexion/extension, axial rotation, and lateral bending. RESULTS: The results show that the range of motion of segment C1–C2 is more flexible than that of segment C2–C3. Moreover, the results from the FE model were used to compute stresses on the ligaments and facet joints of the upper cervical spine during physiological moments. CONCLUSION: The anterior longitudinal ligaments (ALL) and interspinous ligaments (ISL) are found to be the most active ligaments, and the maximum stress distribution is appear on the vertebra C3 superior facet surface under both extension and flexion moments.

Ocular and periocular pain may occur with processes occurring remotely from the eye, including primary headache disorders, pain originating in branches of the trigeminal nerve, and, occasionally, disorders of the upper cervical spine. The primary headaches producing periocular pain include migraine, tension-type headache, cluster headache and other trigeminal autonomic cephalgias, paroxysmal hemicrania, and other miscellaneous headaches not associated with a structural lesion. This chapter focuses on unusual primary headache disorders that manifest as eye pain, as well as secondary causes of ocular pain, including ophthalmic and orbital conditions, inflammatory and infectious processes, cranial neuralgias, and vascular disorders

Instability is a serious and life-threatening diagnosis in the upper cervical spine (occiput-atlas-axis), and a depth understanding of normal range of movement is required for clinical manual evaluation. To improve this knowledge, ten upper cervical spine specimens have been tested in flexion, extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation.
