| Popis: | Background: Cervical radiculopathy is a clinical condition characterized by unilateral arm pain, numbness and tingling in a dermatomal distribution in the hand, and weakness in specific muscle groups that can be treated with nonsurgical or surgical method. This study aims to evaluate the outcome of the stand-alone cervical cage surgical method for cervical radiculopathy in our hospital institution from 2013 to 2017. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study on every patient who undergoes a stand-alone cervical cage for cervical radiculopathy in our hospital institution from 2013 to 2017. The study runs from December 2017 until April 2018. We evaluated the clinical outcome with the Neck Disability Index (NDI). The data were collected from medical records, and postoperative follow up is done by house visits, phone calls, and outpatient visits. Results: Five male and one female subjects with a mean age of 58 years old (45–65 years old) underwent the procedure; one patient passed away on three year postoperative due to other events not related to operation procedure; one patient could no longer be reached. Four patient has an increasing score of NDI postoperative. There is no postoperative complication Conclusion: Stand-alone cervical cage shows a safe and effective treatment providing a favorable clinical outcome for cervical radiculopathy in our hospital institution from 2013 to 2017. |
