Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the therapeutic effect of three surgical procedures(anterior approach,posterior approach and posterior-anterior approach) for cervical spondylotic myelopathy(CSM). [Methods]A total of 111 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy treated with three surgical procedures from June 2002 to December 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Group A(anterior approach) comprised 54 patients with a mean age of 57.1 years(ranged,44~75 years).Group B(posterior approach,Laminoplasty) comprised 33 patients with a mean age of 61 years(ranged,41~73 years).Group C(posterior-anterior approach) comprised 24 patients with a mean age of 62 years(ranged,48-78 years).All patients were followed-up,neural function and cervical sagittal alignment were recorded.According to JOA score,preoperative and postoperative follow-up scores were compared,improvement rates were calculated,respectively.[Results]Patients were followed up for 3 months to 5 years with an average of 2 years.JOA scores of the three groups at 3,6,12 months and at the last follow-up after operation were compared with those of preoperation(P0.05).Cervical sagittal alignment(D numerical value) had no statistical difference at the postoperative and the final follow-up between group A and group C(P=0.434,P=0.492,P=0.569).There was significant difference between group B and group A/C(P
