入选标准

  • 1. Age between 18 - 80 years
  • 2. Cervical spondylotic foraminal stenosis causing radiculopathy of C5 and/or C6 and/or C7 and requiring decompression of = 2 neuroforaminae
  • 3. Radiculopathy is defined as pain, paralysis or paresthesia in corresponding nerve root distribution areas of C5 and/or C6 and/or C7, and must include at least arm/shoulder pain with minimum of 30 mm on 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS)
  • 4. Neck Disability Index (NDI) score = 30 out of 100
  • 5. Unresponsive to non-operative treatment for six weeks or presence of progressive symptoms or signs of nerve root compression in the face of conservative treatment
  • 6. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerised tomography (CT) determined spondylotic foraminal stenosis at treatment level/levels that correlate to primary symptoms
  • 7. Appropriate candidate for treatment using both an anterior approach via ventral discectomy and fusion or a posterior approach via foraminotomy as described by Frykholm
  • 8. Psychosocially, mentally and physically able to fully comply with this protocol, including adhering to scheduled visits, treatment plan, completing forms and other study procedures
  • 9. Personally signed and dated informed consent document prior to any study-related procedures indicating that the patient has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial.

排除标准

  • Clinical criteria:
  • 1. Previous cervical spinal surgery at index level
  • 2. Lumbar or thoracic spinal disease to the extent that surgical consideration is likely or anticipated within 6 months after the cervical surgical treatment
  • 3. Upper extremity degenerative joint diseases (i.e. shoulder) to the extent that:
  • 3.1. Surgical consideration is likely or anticipated within 6 months after the cervical surgical treatment
  • 3.2. The resulting pain is chronic (>3 months)
  • 4. Axial neck pain in the absence of other symptoms of radiculopathy justifying the need for surgical intervention
  • 5. Myelopathy
  • 6. Neoplasia as the source of symptoms
  • 7. Fixed or permanent neurological deficit unrelated to the cervical disc disease
  • 8. Disease or conditions that preclude accurate clinical evaluation (e.g. neuromuscular disorders)
  • 9. Active or chronic infection, systemic or local
  • 10. Systemic disease including HIV, AIDS, hepatitis
  • 11. Active malignancy defined as a history of any invasive malignancy, except non- melanoma skin cancer, unless the patient has been treated with curative intent and there have been no clinical signs or symptoms of the malignancy for a minimum of 5 years
  • 12. Paget?s disease, osteomalacia, or any other metabolic bone disease (for osteoporosis see below)
  • 13. Autoimmune disorder that impacts the musculoskeletal system (i.e. lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis)
  • 14. Acute episode or major mental illness (psychosis, major affective disorder or schizophrenia)
  • 15. Physical symptoms without a diagnosable medical condition to account for the symptoms, which may indicate symptoms of psychological rather than physical origin
  • 16. Recent or current history of substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, narcotics, recreational drugs)
  • 17. Anticipated long-term use of systemic steroid medications postoperatively
  • Radiological criteria:
  • 1. A symptomatic spondylotic foraminal stenosis - considered for surgical intervention, with a contralateral asymptomatic spondylotic foraminal stenoses at the same level with equal or higher extent in the CT exams
  • 2. Cervical disc herniation or central canal stenosis causing radiculopathy or clinical myelopathy
  • 3. Myelopathy in the MRI exams
  • 4. Marked cervical instability on flexion/extension radiographs defined as: Translation > 3mm and/or Angulation > 20°
  • 5. Kyphotic segmental angulation >11° at treatment or adjacent levels
  • Varia (Other):
  • 1. Patient is currently pursuing personal litigation related to spinal diseases
  • 2. Prisoner or ward of the state
  • 3. Patient has used another investigational drug or device within the last 30 days prior to surgery
