Objective:
The study objective was to specify the role of spinal cord stretching in the pathogenesis of spondylogenic cervical myelopathy associated with kyphotic spinal deformity.
Material And Methods:
We analyzed long-term outcomes of surgical treatment for spondylogenic cervical myelopathy accompanied by kyphotic spinal deformity.
Results:
The surgical treatment outcomes were significantly better (p<0.000001) in the case of simultaneous decompression/correction of kyphotic deformity and spine stabilization.
Conclusion:
Spinal cord stretching associated with kyphotic spinal deformity significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of clinical manifestations of spondylogenic cervical myelopathy.
