Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: The Outcome and Potential Complications of Surgical Treatment

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is the most common cause of spinal cord dysfunction in patients over 60 years old. Symptoms often develop gradually and insidiously and are characterized by neck stiffness, arm pain, numbness and clumsiness of hands, as well as weakness of the hands and legs frequently leading to a change in mobility. Surgery is performed primarily to prevent the progression of symptoms but also with the aim of improving existing symptoms. Aim of our study was to assess the outcomes and potential complications of surgical decompression of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Prospective data was collected from 71 patients who were treated surgically for CSM over a four-year period (June 2006 to June 2010). Only patients with confirmedspondylotic cervical mmyelopathy were included in the study; those with an inflammatory, infectious or neoplastic etiology were excluded. The Nurick scale was used as a primary outcome measure, and the improvement in upper limb function a
