TREATMENT OUTCOMES OF LOWER CERVICAL SPINE INJURY BY POSTERIOR APPROACH
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cross-sectional descriptive study based on 60 patients with lower cervical spine injury and neurological deficits operated at Vietduc Hospital .The objective was describing demographic characteristics, causes of fractures, first aid, patients’ transportation, some clinical features and treatment outcomes. The mean age was 52,92 +/- 14,84years. Most of the patients were male and 5/5 people of death is male. There was a statistically significant difference in the sex of patients living and dying. The percentage of patients with AIS A before surgery was 60 % and after surgery reduced to 6,7%. There was a statistically significant difference between the rate of sphincter muscle disorders at the time before and after surgery (p <0.05). And there was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of patients according to AIS classification between the two times before and after surgery (p <0.001). After 6 months, the percentage of patients surviving is over 90%.
