Comparison of Cervical Sagittal Alignment and Kinematics after Posterior Full-endoscopic Cervical Foraminotomy and Discectomy According to Preoperative Cervical Alignment.
BACKGROUND The progression of cervical kyphosis due to injury to the facet joints and musculature is a major concern for posterior foraminotomy especially for patients with cervical lordosis of less than 10°. However, cervical hypo-lordosis (cervical lordosis < 10°) may be improved with the alleviation of pain and muscle spasms, which corresponds with the disappearance of a positive Spurling's ...
متن کاملEndoscopic Posterior Cervical Foraminotomy as a Treatment for Osseous Foraminal Stenosis.
BACKGROUND Posterior cervical foraminotomy is a valuable treatment option for cervical radiculopathy. Here the authors present their technique and results in the treatment of a series of patients suffering from osseous foraminal stenosis. METHODS Forty-three patients suffering from cervical osseous foraminal stenosis were operated on via a posterior approach with the EasyGO endoscopic system....
متن کاملArea of Ostectomy in Posterior Percutaneous Endoscopic Cervical Foraminotomy: Images and Mid-term Outcomes
Study Design Retrospective. Purpose To analyze whether the cross-sectional area of the intervertebral foramen at the outermost edge of the resection site is associated with postoperative outcomes and whether our fluoroscopic method for determining the resection area is appropriate. Overview of Literature There is no consensus on the criteria for determining an optimal resection area to obta...
متن کاملMini Open Foraminotomy (MOF) for Cervical Radiculopathy: Technical Note
Background: Favorable surgical results had been reported in cervical posterior foraminotomy using endoscopy; however, the learning curve for the surgeon is steep. We therefore developed a procedure that can be performed more easily and with small incision, called “Mini Open Foraminotomy (MOF)”, using a tubular retractor (22mm diameter) under direct vision. The purpose of this study was to demon...
متن کاملPosterior Cervical Microscopic Foraminotomy and Discectomy with Laser for Unilateral Radiculopathy
Surgical decompression for cervical radiculopathy includes anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, anterior or posterior cervical foraminotomy, and cervical arthroplasty after decompression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of a CO2 laser in posterior-approach surgery for unilateral cervical radiculopathy. From January 2006 to December 2008, 12 consecutive patients with uni...
