Methods: Sixty-eight patients were randomised into two groups. Group A, treated conservatively, consisted of 35 subjects, while group B, treated surgically, was made up of 33 patients. Results: There was, on average, no significant deterioration in mJOA score within the two groups over 3 years of follow-up, but therewas a slightly expressed decrease in the self-evaluation score in group B, and a slight deterioration of the score for daily activities in group A. Comparison of the two groups showed significant difference in the timed 10 m walk test in favour of groupA, but no difference in mJOA score and self evaluation by patients themselves (with the exception of a better score at month 6 in favour of group B).
