Summary
Cervical spine manipulation under anesthesia effectively treated traumatic disc syndrome with degenerative changes. This procedure offers a potential solution for specific cervical spine conditions.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Neurosurgery
- Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Background:
- Limited literature exists on manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) for cervical spine conditions compared to the lumbar spine.
- Cervical spine manipulation under anesthesia is an infrequently discussed intervention.
Observation:
- A case of traumatically induced cervical disc syndrome with concurrent degenerative disc and joint disease is presented.
- The patient experienced significant relief following a series of MUA procedures targeting the cervical spine.
Findings:
- Successful resolution of traumatic cervical disc syndrome and associated degenerative joint disease was achieved through MUA.
- The study details the indications and procedural aspects of MUA for cervical spine conditions.
Implications:
- MUA may be a viable treatment option for specific cases of traumatic cervical disc syndrome and degenerative changes.
- Further research is warranted to establish broader indications and efficacy of MUA in cervical spine disorders.
