Abstract: thoracic vertebra small joint disorder refers to thoracic vertebra small joint force under the anatomical location of change, performance for intraarticular synovial incarceration and the formation of not complete dislocation and can not automatically reset and lead to pain and functional limitations and other symptoms of a disease. In spite of the thoracic facet joint disorders in both humans and animals have higher incidence, but due to the incidence of concealment, course of the disease is mostly through the chronic, some of the symptoms of area and primary lesions are far apart, so before has not been paid enough attention to. In this experiment, the T6-T8 dislocation was used as the experimental animal in the adult rabbits. After the operation, the weight change curve was drawn and the digestive ability was evaluated. After 6 weeks of operation, the measurement of gastric electrical and intestinal motility were done, and the rabbits were sacrificed. The gastrointestinal wall was taken to make gastrointestinal pathological sections. The pathological changes were observed and the influence of the thoracic facet joint disorder on the gastrointestinal tract was evaluated. The experimental results showed that the gastrointestinal motility of the experimental group was weakened, the changes of gastrointestinal wall occurred, and the effect of gastrointestinal function.
Key words: small joint disorder of thoracic vertebrae, modeling, gastrointestinal motility, gastrointestinal wall lesions
