Cervical Spine Fusion

Abstract After spontaneous remission of nerve root compression, a myelographic defect may persist. Similarly, myelopathy may remain nonprogressive for long periods despite appreciable myelographic deformity. Although operation may arrest or improve the symptoms of cervical disc lesions and spondylosis, the ultimate confirmation that entrapped neural elements have been relieved permanently can only be provided by postoperative myelography. Preoperative and postoperative myelography documents the significant improvement that can be achieved by using posterolateral and posterior approaches to the cervical spine in patients with nerve root or spinal cord compression. The results in this group of patients were achieved with none of the disadvantages or complications of cervical spine fusion or of the interbody removal of cervical disc tissue, also leading to cervical fusion.
