To evaluate the surgical outcome for acute central cervical spinal cord injuries without fracture and dislocation.
A retrospective study was performed on 52 patients with acute central cervical cord injuries without fracture and dislocation from 2000 to 2005. All of patients underwent cervical anterior or posterior decompression, fusion and inter fixation. Spinal function was evaluated by ASIA (American Spinal Injury Association) guidelines. Pre- and post-operation ASIA scores were analyzed using liner correlation and regression. The neurological function was recorded during followed-up. The average follow-up was 29 months (range, 12 to 42).
After operation, the ASIA scores increased significantly (P<0.01). Finally, ASIA motor, pin pricking and light touching scores of the 41 patients were 91 +/- 7, 107 +/- 6 and 107 +/- 6 respectively.
Decompression and inter fixation for injured segment can make a stable and broad space for spinal cord, promoting early neurological recovery and long-term improvement.
评估急性无骨折脱位型中央型颈髓损伤的手术疗效。
对2000年至2005年收治的52例急性无骨折脱位型中央型颈髓损伤患者进行回顾性研究。所有患者均接受了颈椎前路或后路减压、融合及内固定手术。采用美国脊髓损伤协会(ASIA)指南评估脊髓功能。运用线性相关和回归分析术前及术后的ASIA评分。随访期间记录神经功能。平均随访时间为29个月(范围12至42个月)。
术后ASIA评分显著提高(P<0.01)。最终,41例患者的ASIA运动、针刺觉和轻触觉评分分别为91±7、107±6和107±6。
对损伤节段进行减压和内固定可为脊髓创造稳定且广阔的空间,促进神经功能早期恢复及长期改善。
