Introduction: Due to cervical spondylosispatients with cervical stenosis who hadhyperextension trauma developed spinalcord stress and contusions, tetraplegia anddisability and mortality. Cervical spondylosispatients with hyperextension traumatreatment management still not clearedout throughout the world and very fewresearch has been done in our country.We have been introduced our surgical andrehabilitation comparison research study ofcervical spondylosis trauma in 2015. Our goalis to develop treatment management forthe hyperextension trauma in patients withcervical spondylosis.1. To compare surgical treatmentresults between patients who hadhyperextension injury to the cervical spinewhich were treated at the Departmentof Spinal Surgery of the National Traumaand Orthopaedic Research Center ofMongolia.2. To study biomechanical effects after thesurgeryMaterial and methods: 42 cervicalspondylosis patients with hyperextensioninjury have been chosen retrospectively toevaluate the surgical, conservative, andrehabilitative treatments and results wereanalyzed by SPSS, EXCEL program who weretreated at the Department of Spinal Surgeryof the National Trauma and OrthopaedicResearch Center of Mongolia from 2012-September 2016. Over 20% canal stenosiscases were chosen for laminectomy andanterior discectomy and fusion surgeriesalong with conservative and rehabilitationtreatment. Up to 20% canal stenosis 10cases which is 23.8% of all patients weretreated by conservative treatment.Results: From 42 patients there was 10females and 32 males. Average ages were56±7.9. By the cause of injury 62% werecar accident, 23% motorcycle accident, 10%fall from horse riding and 5% were otherfalls respectively. All patients had neurologicdeficits according to the level of spinal cordinjury. 36 (85.7%) patients had C4-C5 andC5-C6 level injury and 15 (35.7) patients wererecovered from spinal shock after high dosesteroid treatment. According to the X-RAYall patients had cervical spondylosis signand 4 (9.5%) of them had facet fractureswith stable spine condition. After CT scanspinal cord injury located at C3-C4, C4-C5and C5-C6 levels and patients developedfacet arthrosis, ossification of ligaments andintervertebral discs. Clinical signs and CT scans were evaluated and 4 cervical spondylosispatients with hyperextension injury hadlaminectomy and 2 patient had anteriordiscectomy and fusion surgeries. Canalstenosis is decompressed after laminectomysurgery and cervical lordosis is reduced by 7degrees but after anterior discectomy andfusion surgery cervical lordosis is reducedby 3 degrees. Neurological deficit increasinglaminectomy cases had C5 palsy becauseof cord shift (2.4-4mm) which resulted bydenticulate ligament tethering.Conclusion: There were no significantstatistical (P≤.05) differences betweensurgical and rehabilitation treatmentsin cervical spondylosis patients withhyperextension injury who’s canal stenosiswere below 20% [1,2,3,4,5].In our practice itis essential to make laminectomy and anteriordiscectomy and fusion surgeries in 72 hoursafter trauma to help the patient recoverfrom the spinal shock and reabsorption ofcord contusion. For one or two level canalstenosis especially with the OPLL, artificialdisc replacement and ADF surgeries showedbetter results. In multiple level canal stenosiswith OLF and OPLL cases laminectomyand laminoplasty are choice for surgery. Incomparison to foreign study/ Biomechanicalinvestigation of spinal cord injury and diseasein cervical spine Batbayar.K Seoul.2016[2]/ our surgical treatment showed similarresults. Among cervical spondylosis patientswith hyperextension trauma cases whotreated in Spine Department of NationalTrauma and Orthopaedic Hospital, mortalityand disability is increasing and it is essentialto follow correct diagnostic and treatmentalgorithms.

Medicine has history of more than 3000 years, and it’s one of the
most valuable heritages people in the world. During this long
period, although it is still keeping itsown distinct features. Medicine
had been developed in close relationship with Indian Ayurvedic
medicine, Tibetan medicine and Chinese medicine, Hippocratic
medicine, Avicenna medicine for many centuries (for long history
period). Above mentioned medicines have the own
diagnosticmethods and treatment. The services provided by
practitioners of medicine covered the whole health-care spectrum
and dealt less satisfactorily with most of the health problems at that
time. However, researchers are facing to answer the following
questions, what is medicine, what is medical science, what criteria
should have treated in medicine by the modern time? For this
reason, we need to study how medicine had been developed in
particular part of the world especially in India, Tibetan, Greece and
etc. Furthermore, main task of the researchers is included in
identifying hypothetic criterion which is related to specific
characteristicsdifferent fields of medicine.
In addition, future perspectives and the latest achievements of
scientific research into new medicine will be presented. The study
explains the thoughts, theories and diagnostics and treatment-
methods. We expect that study will demonstrate clearly updated
(comprehensive) review of the origin and development of medical
theories thoughts. This review states traces in the history of
medicine and its special characteristics and achievements of
during the historical period.
