Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Towards a Personalized Approach

Nader Hejrati et al.

Summary: Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a newly coined term that encompasses various pathologies related to age and genetics, leading to chronic compression of the spinal cord. Treatment debates mainly focus on clinical decision-making, timing of intervention, and surgical approach. Studies have deepened understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms, aiding in personalized treatment approaches.

Morphology of cervical periradicular fibrous sheath and nerve roots in relation to postoperative C5 palsy

Yoshitada Usami et al.

Summary: This study examined the anatomical relationship between the periradicular fibrous sheath (PFS) and nerve root at each cervical level and its potential role in the onset of postoperative C5 palsy. The results showed that the average uncovered area of the C5 root by the PFS was significantly shorter than that of the C6, C7, and C8 roots, indicating that the C5 root was more tightly anchored. This finding may contribute to the vulnerability of the C5 nerve root to traction caused by postoperative spinal cord shift.

Summary: DCM is a disease caused by progressive injury to the cervical spinal cord due to age-related changes. Effective monitoring of the population will require establishing a monitoring framework and developing new assessment tools.

Degeneration of the Sensorimotor Tract in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy and Compensatory Structural Changes in the Brain

Senlin Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the factors affecting degeneration in the sensorimotor tract with degenerative cervical myelopathy and its relationship with brain structure. The results showed that the fractional anisotropy of the lateral corticospinal tract decreased in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy, and the apparent diffusion coefficient increased at one level. Brain structure changes also indicated structural compensation and neurotrophin family enlargement of the brain.

How Is Spinal Cord Function Measured in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy? A Systematic Review

Khadija H. Soufi et al.

Summary: Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a common condition that affects the spinal cord and neurological function. The current measurement tools for assessing impairment in DCM mainly consist of questionnaires, which have limitations. Future clinical studies should employ a combination of subjective and objective assessments to improve diagnosis and treatment of DCM.

Brain Structural and Functional Dissociated Patterns in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: A Case-Controlled Retrospective Resting-State fMRI Study

Yi Zhou et al.

Summary: Patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) exhibit alterations in both structural and functional aspects of the brain, particularly in the sensorimotor cortices, visual system, and cerebellum. These alterations may contribute to the neuropathology of DCM.

Usefulness of preoperative Short Form-36 Mental Component Score as a prognostic factor in patients who underwent decompression surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis

Sangbong Ko et al.

Summary: This study investigated the correlation between preoperative SF-36 Mental Component Score (MCS) and long-term prognosis after decompression surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS). The results showed a significant negative correlation between preoperative MCS and pain index as well as spinal functional improvement after surgery.

Effect of Ventral vs Dorsal Spinal Surgery on Patient-Reported Physical Functioning in Patients With Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy A Randomized Clinical Trial

Zoher Ghogawala et al.

Summary: In patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy undergoing cervical spinal surgery, a ventral surgical approach did not significantly improve patient-reported physical functioning at 1 year compared with outcomes after a dorsal surgical approach. Rates of complications were higher in the ventral surgery group, including dysphagia, neurological deficits, reoperations, and readmissions.

Samuel Sommaruga et al.

Summary: In anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), there were no significant differences in surgical outcomes between stand-alone (SA) zero-profile implants and cervical plating (CP), but the SA group had shorter length of hospital stay and operative time compared to CP.
