Abstract:

Objective — the study objective was to specify the role of spinal cord stretching in the pathogenesis of spondylogenic cervical myelopathy associated with kyphotic spinal deformity. Material and methods. We analyzed long-term outcomes of surgical treatment for spondylogenic cervical myelopathy accompanied by kyphotic spinal deformity. Results. The surgical treatment outcomes were significantly better (p<0.000001) in the case of simultaneous decompression/correction of kyphotic deformity and spine stabilization. Conclusion. Spinal cord stretching associated with kyphotic spinal deformity significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of clinical manifestations of spondylogenic cervical myelopathy.

Keywords:
