Abstract
|
|
|
We reviewed 40 patients with cervical discs operated from Jan. 1990 to Jun. 1994. The most common presenting complaints were radiating pain to one upper extrimity and the most frequent site of operation of involvement was the C5-6 level.
Postoperative
complications were encountered in 6 cases ; Graft extrusion in one. donor site pain in three, and hoarseness in two cases. All postoperative complications were resolved within 3 months. In 95% of the patients. the outcome were excellent or good
based on
Odom's criteria. The duration of symptomes and the character of disc (soft or hard) did not affect the prognosis of outcome. All patients with radiculopathy have improved except two patients who had myelopathy instead they had persistent
preoperative
symptoms.
