ABSTRACT
[Objective]To analysis the unstable pathogeny of the superior cervical congenital deformity for the operative method selection. [Methods]65 patients with congenital superior cervical deformity were treated from January 2003 to June 2007,in which there were 39 male patients,and 26 female patients. The X-ray,CT and MRI were examined generally before operation. In the images,there were 32 cases with formation failure deformity,18 cases with segmentation failure deformity,and 15 cases with abnormal structure deformity. 37 cases with easy reduction and no anterior compression were treated with posterior internal fixation and self cancellous bone graft for fusion. The other 28 cases with impossible reduction and anterior spinal cord compression were treated with anterior odontoid resection and decompression,and then posterior internal fixation and self cancellous bone graft for fusion.[Results]All of the operations were sucesseful without never and vascular injury and other serious complication. There were 47 cases following up 12 to 24 months in the 65 cases,and the mean follow up 15 6 months.One case's broken up titanium rod were treated with replacing new rod and bone graft,and the other cases showing bone fusion. There 28 cases following up in 34 cases with superior cervical pain and resticted movement,in which the pain was decreased or disappeared. There were 19 cases following up in 31 cases with numb limbs and superior never center injury. The preoperative Frankel score showed 5 cases B,8 cases C,and 17 cases D. The postoperative Frankel score of following up cases showd 5 cased C,6 cases D,and 8 cases E,and the score increased one or two degree.[Conclusion]The posterior,or anterior-posterior approach was selected by the condition of congenital superior cervical pathogeny,atlantoaxial reduction and spinal cord compression.
