Clinical implications of alignment of upper and lower cervical spine.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The alignment of upper and lower cervical spine is presumed to be closely interrelated and the knowledge of this is mandatory when performing occipito-cervical and upper cervical fusions. The aim of this study was to establish standard values for upper and lower cervical spine alignment in the Indian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five hundred eighteen asymptomatic volu...
متن کاملAnterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Alters Whole-Spine Sagittal Alignment
PURPOSE Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has become a common spine procedure, however, there have been no previous studies on whole spine alignment changes after cervical fusion. Our purpose in this study was to determine whole spine sagittal alignment and pelvic alignment changes after ACDF. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight patients who had undergone ACDF from January 2011 to ...
متن کاملDistal Junctional Disease after Occipitothoracic Fusion for Rheumatoid Cervical Disorders: Correlation with Cervical Spine Sagittal Alignment
Study Design Retrospective radiographic study. Objective We have performed occipitothoracic (OT) fusion for severe rheumatoid cervical disorders since 1991. In our previous study, we reported that the distal junctional disease occurred in patients with fusion of O-T4 or longer due to increased mechanical stress. The present study further evaluated the association between the distal junctional d...
متن کاملCorrelation of cervical sagittal alignment parameters on full-length spine radiographs compared with dedicated cervical radiographs
BACKGROUND Radiographic parameters to evaluate the cervical spine in adult deformity using 36-inch films have been proposed. While 36-inch films are used to evaluate spinal deformity, dedicated cervical films are more commonly used to evaluate cervical spine pathology. The purpose of this study is to determine correlations between sagittal measures from a dedicated cervical spine radiographs an...
متن کاملSagittal alignment after single cervical disc arthroplasty.
STUDY DESIGN Prospective study. OBJECTIVES To analyze the sagittal balance after single-level cervical disc replacement (CDR) and range of motion (ROM). To define clinical and radiologic parameters those have a significant correlation with segmental and overall cervical curvature after CDR. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Clinical outcomes and ROM after CDR with Mobi-C (LDR, Troyes, France) pros...
