COMPARISON OF PREOPERATIVE AND POSTOPERATIVE CERVICAL SAGITTAL PARAMETERS IN PATIENTS WITH CERVICAL DEGENERATIVE DISEASE
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 28, Issue 2
Abstract
In this article, cervical sagittal parameter values were measured in patients with cervical degenerative disease between the ages of years preo p eratively and postoperatively and compared with each other. Sagittal equilibrium paramet ers measured for comparison are; C0 inclination angle (angle made with the horizontal line of the Frankfurt line), C0-C2 angle (angle between the McGregor line passing through the skull base and C2 lower end plane), T1 slope angle (angle between C7 lower end plate and T1 upper end plate), and cervical lordosis (angle between C2-C7). Cervical sagittal parameters were not changed postoperatively with statistically (p > 0.05). In our study we found a slight decrease in Cobb angle of cervical lordosis postoperatively in patients with cervical spondylosis. According to the results of our study, surgical treatment did not effect to the sagital parameters in the cervical region of the patients with degenerative spondylitis was found. It is still premature to make a correlation between cervical sagittal parameters and clinical outcomes pre and postoperatively. Prospective studies with larger patient groups needed before making general statements on this subject.
