ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the treatment for traumatic intervertebrae disk herniation in cervical thoracic junction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From 2003 to 2008, there were 10 patients with trautimatic intervertebral disk herniation in cervical thoracic junction, which included 6 males and 4 females, aged from 23 to 66 years (means 41.5 years). All of them were performed through the transforminal approach combined with internal fixation. After operation all patient underwent hyperbaric oxygen treatment. The function of spine was evaluated by JOA score system.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All patients were followed up for 8 to 16 months(means 13 months). All patients got recovery of spine function to some extent except one case with complete spine damaged. The JOA scores was improved from (8 +/- 3) before operation to (15 +/- 2) after operation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Early and effective treatment by transforminal operation could be helpful for the recovery of spine function.</p>
