The health of the cervical spine (CS) and the functional state of the pectoral girdle are interdependent. Injuries to the pectoral girdle can be an underlying cause of CS pain, including cervicalgia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the condition of the cervical spine in patients with cervicalgia developed after a pectoral girdle injury using radiographic and physical examinations. The study included 400 patients complaining of cervicalgia. Pain intensity was evaluated on the visual analog scale (VAS); the impact of the condition on patients’ lives was assessed using the Neck Disability Index (Russian language). During physical examinations, the general health of the spine was evaluated and abnormalities in the cervical spine were noted. All participants underwent a radiographic scan of the cervical spine in the lateral and anterior-posterior projections; 49.5% of patients underwent postural digital radiography to evaluate their CS sagittal profile. All patients received an MRI scan. Based on the results, we identified certain functional changes in the cervical spine which possibly caused cervicalgia. Structurally and functionally, the changes were divided into static and dynamic. We conclude that cervical spinal pain is a common problem among patients
with previous pectoral girdle injury.
