[Infection of intervertebral space and the interventional therapy].

Objective: To investigate the effect of interventional therapy in the treatment of intervertebral space infection.

Methods: The needle was punctured into the infected intervertebral space from the post-lateral side of the spine monitored by X-rays. The pus was drained, the degenerative disc tissues and necrosis tissues were excised and taken out, and at the end a drainaging catheter was put into the space through the needle.

One-stage surgical management for multilevel tuberculous spondylitis of the upper thoracic region by anterior decompression, strut autografting, posterior instrumentation, and fusion.

Study Design: A retrospective clinical study of 1-stage surgical management for multilevel tuberculous spondylitis of the upper thoracic region (MTSUTR).

Objective: MTSUTR has rarely been documented in the literature. We present a retrospective clinical study of 23 patients with MTSUTR treated by anterior decompression, strut autografting, posterior instrumentation, and fusion.

[Anterior approach in the surgical treatment of cervical fracture and spinal cord injury].

Objective: To explore value of the anterior approach in the surgical treatment of cervical fracture and spinal cord injury.

Methods: Thirty-one cases of cervical fracture and spinal cord injury were treated. All the patients were operated on in general anaesthesia by anterior decompression, reduction, auto-iliac graft and ORION cervical plate fixation.

[Efficacy of operation in the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopath in different disease periods].

Objective: To analyze the efficacy of cervical spondylotic myelopathc (CSM) in different disease periods after operation, and explore the best operating period for CSM treatment.

Methods: Eighty-nine cases of CSM were included in this study. Thirty-eight cases were treated by posterior open-door or twain-door laminoplasty, and 34 cases were treated by anterior "opening window" decompression and auto-iliac bone graft.
