Thoracic facet joint disorder refers to the change of anatomical position of thoracic facet joint under stress, which is characterized by synovial incarceration and incomplete dislocation in the joint and can not be automatically reset, resulting in pain and limited function. Although the incidence of thoracic facet joint disorder is high in both humans and animals, due to the concealment of the disease, the course of the disease is mostly chronic, and some symptoms are far from the primary focus, so it has not attracted enough attention before. In this experiment, T6-T8 dislocation was used as an experimental animal of adult rabbits. After operation, the weight change curve was drawn to evaluate the digestive ability. Six weeks after operation, the gastric electricity and intestinal motility were detected and the animals were killed. Gastrointestinal pathological sections were made from the gastrointestinal wall. To observe the pathological changes and evaluate the influence of thoracic facet joint disorder on gastrointestinal tract. The experimental results showed that the gastrointestinal motility was weakened, the gastrointestinal wall changed and the gastrointestinal function was affected in the experimental group.

Key words: thoracic facet joint disorder, modeling, gastrointestinal motility, gastrointestinal wall lesions
