Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between Modic changes (MC) in the spine and MRI findings, as well as symptoms in patients with cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD).
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 121 patients who underwent cervical surgery, comparing preoperative MRI and clinical data, revealing that patients with MC experienced more severe neck pain.
- The findings indicated that MC type 2 is linked to several factors, including disc degeneration and endplate defects, with specific thresholds established for predicting these changes at certain cervical levels.
