Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Spinal Surgery

Background:

  • Severe cervical dislocations pose significant challenges in spinal surgery.
  • Optimal surgical reduction and stabilization strategies are crucial for neurological recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the success rate of anterior open reduction for severe cervical dislocations.
  • To determine the effectiveness of different surgical strategies and identify predictors for tracheotomy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 92 severe cervical dislocation cases (March 2001-March 2006).
  • Preoperative Garden Well traction followed by anterior approach (diskectomy/corpectomy) for reduction.
  • Posterior fixation was employed when anterior reduction was insufficient.

Main Results:

  • Anterior open reduction achieved an 89.2% success rate.
  • Corpectomy was required in 44 cases for successful reduction.
  • Tracheotomy was performed in 29 cases, with indications related to injury level and spinal cord involvement.

Conclusions:

  • Anterior open reduction is a highly successful primary approach for severe cervical dislocations.
  • Combined anterior-posterior approaches are needed in a minority of cases (10.8%).
  • Tracheotomy decisions should consider injury level, spinal cord integrity, and respiratory status.
