Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between preoperative cervical spine alignment and changes in postoperative myelopathy after surgery in patients with cervical myelopathy who underwent anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) surgery as treatment.
Methods: Patients who underwent anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion surgery for the treatment of cervical myelopathy were included in the study. We evaluated various cervical alignment parameters such as T1 sagittal angle, T1 slope, and C2-7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA) before surgery. Postoperative myelopathy outcomes were assessed using the Modified Japanese Orthopedic Association score (mJOA), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression to determine the relationship between preoperative radiological parameters and postoperative clinical outcomes.
Results: There were no significant differences in age, gender, or BMI between the single-level and multilevel corpectomy groups. Significant differences were observed in postoperative C2-7 Cobb angle, operative time, and blood loss. Patients with higher C2-7 SVA had worse operative outcomes.
Conclusion: Preoperative cervical alignment measurements such as T1 slope and C2-7 SVA may be helpful in predicting myelopathy outcomes after ACCF surgery. Predicting the clinical outcomes of the patient after surgery is important for preparing postoperative care and adjusting treatment.
期刊介绍：
Neurochirurgie publishes articles on treatment, teaching and research, neurosurgery training and the professional aspects of our discipline, and also the history and progress of neurosurgery. It focuses on pathologies of the head, spine and central and peripheral nervous systems and their vascularization. All aspects of the specialty are dealt with: trauma, tumor, degenerative disease, infection, vascular pathology, and radiosurgery, and pediatrics. Transversal studies are also welcome: neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurology, neuropediatrics, psychiatry, neuropsychology, physical medicine and neurologic rehabilitation, neuro-anesthesia, neurologic intensive care, neuroradiology, functional exploration, neuropathology, neuro-ophthalmology, otoneurology, maxillofacial surgery, neuro-endocrinology and spine surgery. Technical and methodological aspects are also taken onboard: diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, methods for assessing results, epidemiology, surgical, interventional and radiological techniques, simulations and pathophysiological hypotheses, and educational tools. The editorial board may refuse submissions that fail to meet the journal''s aims and scope; such studies will not be peer-reviewed, and the editor in chief will promptly inform the corresponding author, so as not to delay submission to a more suitable journal.
With a view to attracting an international audience of both readers and writers, Neurochirurgie especially welcomes articles in English, and gives priority to original studies. Other kinds of article - reviews, case reports, technical notes and meta-analyses - are equally published.
Every year, a special edition is dedicated to the topic selected by the French Society of Neurosurgery for its annual report.
