cervical and lumbar spines - lex0307


Posted: Oct 31, 2009

Problem List

Degenerative arthritis of the cervical and lumbar spines.

It sounds like he is saying spines (pl). Is it spines or spine??

 

Spines is just fine... : ) - elaine

Even though we all have one spine, docs commonly refer to the cervical spine, lumbar spine, etc. as "separate" anatomic entities. Thus, "cervical and lumbar spines". Depends on the doc's style. In my opinion, spine or spines would be okay in this case.

Thank you nm - Lex0307
