EVALUATION OF TERMINAL VERTEBRAL PLATE ON CERVICAL SPINE AT DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS AND ITS CORRELATION WITH INTERVERTEBRAL DISC THICKNESS

The range of movement(ROM) of adjacent segments and the change of intervertebral disc stress after implanting artificial cervical disc are investigated. The contact problem for bio-modeling is introduced. A normal cervical spine finite element model is proposed. The bone graft and fusion between C5 and C6 and C5/6 artificial disc implantation were simulated. The range of movement on adjacent segment and the change of intervertebral disc’s stress in such two cases are analyzed. Computational results show that the model includes the ligaments, joint capsule and other soft tissue structures, which is real, fine and high accuracy. When the adjacent intervertebral ROM was increased after interbody fusion surgery, the stress of corresponding intervertebral disc was increased obviously and the stress of upper segment of nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus were also increased about 70% ,besides the next-bit segments was increased about 40%. There were no differences among cervical spine ROM except extension (p> 0.05) after the implantation of artificial disc, and the stress on adjacent segments was increased less than 10%. The implantation of artificial cervical disc can release the stress on adjacent segments in a certain extent, and resume cervical activities at the same time.

Herniated Intervertebral Disc

To upgrade the results of surgical treatment in patients operated on for gerniated intervertebral disk the reflex-pain syndromes of spondylarthrosis and osteohondrous was studied. Before surgical treatment alcohol-novocain blockades have been used to perform denervation of intervertebral discs and joints. The reflex-pain syndromes was evoked by solution injection and then arrested by alcohol-novocain injection. Clinical outcome in long-term period after surgical treatment became good in 89% (p < 0.05) on cervical spine and in 84% (p < 0.05) lumbar.

Holistic Approach

Cervical spondylosis is one of the commonly seen diseases nowadays. Neck pain, which usually arises from diseases of the cervical spine & soft tissues of the neck, is common. “SPONDYLO” is a Greek term, meaning “Vertebra” & spondylosis generally mean changes in the vertrbral joint characterized by increasing degeneration of the intervertebral disc with subsequent changes in the bones & soft tissue. The management of cervical spondylosis is very much effective with Homoeopathic medicine. This article stress upon the risk factor, pathophysiology, symptomatology, investigation in concise manner as well as emphasises how homoeopathy can manage in such cases by its holistic approach of treatment.
