Abstract:
[Objective]To evaluate the restoration of the cervical curvature after segmental anterior cervical decompression.[Method]Thirty-seven patients(male 31,female 6,mean age 57.8)with cervical spondylotic myelopathy were treated by segmentai anterior decompression,JOA(17 scores)was used to evaluate the improvement of nerve function of the patients.The measurement of the lordosis was according to the Harrion posterior tangent angle which is presented on the tangent of posterior vertebral body margins of C2 and C7 in the cervical spine.E-film software was used to measure the tangent angles which were obtained by pre operation and post operation.All patients were divided into two groups in terms of the fifteen degree of lordosis of the cervical spine before the operation.[Result]All of the cases were obtained the improvement of the nerve function of the extremities.The mean JOA scores was 10.6 in pre-operation,and was 12.8 in post-operation(P
