Combined Anterior-Posterior Decompression and Fusion for Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy.
We conducted a study to evaluate the operative details, perioperative complications, and short-term outcomes associated with combined anterior-posterior decompression and fusion (CAPDF) for treating cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 21 patients who underwent CAPDF at our institution. Pertinent information, including demographics, surgery indication...
متن کامل[Laminoplasty for cervical spondylotic myelopathy].
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a common condition. Uninstrumented laminectomy may be complicated by postoperative instability, whereas anterior or posterior decompression with fusion may be associated with stiffness and adjacent segment disease. Cervical laminoplasty, initially oriented towards pediatric patients and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, becomes an inte...
متن کاملCervical spondylotic myelopathy.
Cervical spondylosis is a condition in which there is progressive degeneration of the intervertebral joints of the cervical spine. It is widespread throughout the adult population such that is has been estimated that on the basis of plain X-rays 50% over the age of 50 years and 75 % over the age of 65 suffer from the condition. It is indeed fortunate that only a small proportion suffer from the...
متن کاملAlternating cervical laminoplasty for cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
We present a novel method of performing an 'open-door' cervical laminoplasty. The complete laminotomy is sited on alternate sides at successive levels, thereby allowing the posterior arch to be elevated to alternate sides. Foraminotomies can be carried out on either side to relieve root compression. The midline structures are preserved. We undertook this procedure in 23 elderly patients with a ...
متن کاملPathogenesis of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether either of two mechanical theories predicts the topographic pattern of neuropathology in cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). The compression theory states that the spinal cord is compressed between a spondylotic bar anteriorly and the ligamenta flava posteriorly. The dentate tension theory states that the spinal cord is pulled laterally by the dentate ligaments,...
