Cervical disc arthroplasty compared with arthrodesis for the treatment of myelopathy. Surgical technique.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Although there have been case reports describing the use of cervical disc arthroplasty for the treatment of myelopathy, there is a concern that motion preservation may maintain microtrauma to the spinal cord, negatively affecting the ... Read more...

Upper limbs dysmetria caused by cervical spinal cord injury: a case report.

22 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Upper limbs dysmetria caused by spinal cord injury is very rare. We will discuss the associated mechanism in our articles. CASE PRESENTATION: A 51-year-old male had sudden onset of weakness, dysmetria over bilateral upper limbs and ... Read more...

[Chemonucleolysis and intradiscal electrothermal therapy: what is the current evidence?]

22 Sep 2009 We evaluated the efficacy and safety of chemonucleolysis and intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET) on the basis of the data presented in recently published papers with respect to pain relief, function, and complication rates. Detailed searches ... Read more...
