The Clinical outcomes of Operative and non-operative Methods in the treatment of the cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation
Objective:To discuss the clinical outcomes of operative and non-operative methods in the treatment of cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation. Methods:The total of 45 patients with cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation treated were retrospectively analyzed, including 21 patients treated non-operatively, 24 patients treated operatively. The ASIA impairment scale and JOA scores of the two groups were compared, clinical effects were observed. Results:The ASIA impairment scale and JOA scores of the non-operative and operative groups were improved significantly compared to those of non-treatment. The curative probability of nerve function of the operative group in 3 month and 12 month after treatment was(40±21)% and(59±30)% respectively, while those of non-operative group in the same time was(26±13)% and(42±27)% respectively. The operative group got beter nerve function than that of the non-operative group, and the difference between the two groups was significant statisticaly.Conclusions:The methods of both operative and non-operative could get beter clinical outcomes in the treatment of patients of cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation, however, the operation is preferable.
