The Etiology And Prognosis Of C5 Palsy After Anterior Decompression With Spinal Fusion
Author(s): Yasuaki Imajo
Background: There are currently few reports on the etiology and the prognosis of C5 palsy using electrophysiological examination. The aim of this study was to discuss the etiology and prognosis of C5 palsy after anterior decompression with spinal fusion (ASF) using radiological findings and electrophysiological examination.
Methods: 219 patients underwent ASF for cervical degenerative disease. We assessed the cervical sagittal alignment, the local angle at the fused level, and the height of the fused vertebral body on lateral radiographs in a neutral position preoperatively and at final follow-up. We performed intraoperative motor evoked potentials (MEPs) from deltoid and biceps, and meas... view more»
