Study Design: Prospective randomized control trial.
Objective: To analyze outcomes following the injection of cerebrolysin in surgically treated patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM).
Summary Of Background Data: Previous research has concluded that superior functional outcomes are achieved with the use of cerebrolysin in surgically treated patients of DCM for 21 days.
Background: Spinal synovial cysts are rare in the cervical spine where they may cause myeloradiculopathy. Contrast MR studies help differentiate these from other lesions. The optimal treatment is often surgical removal.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 119 patients with thoracolumbar spine fractures (i.e.
Study Design: Retrospective study.
Aim: To retrospectively evaluate and compare the long-term outcome of anterior vertebral body reconstruction in tuberculosis (TB) of the dorsal spine by direct anterior-versus-posterior approach.
Materials And Methods: A total of 127 patients operated by posterior approach, 118 by anterior for TB-thoracic spine with at least 1-year follow-up were included and retrospectively analyzed.
Aims: The aim of the study was to retrospectively evaluate the neurological outcome in operated patients of ossified posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of cervical and/or dorsal spine using modified Japanese orthopedic association (mJOA) score and find out the factors affecting the outcome.
Settings And Design: The study design was a retrospective study.
Materials And Methods: Forty operated patients of cervical and/or dorsal spine OPLL were included in the study.
Study Design: This was a retrospective study.
Purpose: The purpose was to retrospectively evaluate long-term outcome of anterior stabilization in three-column injury of the subaxial cervical spine.
Overview Of Literature: Literature shows varied results regarding the approach to be chosen.
