This study aimed to investigate changes in the H-reflex recruitment curve in compressive radiculopathy, specifically assessing differences between symptomatic and asymptomatic limbs in patients with unilateral S1 radiculopathy through derived parameters. A total of 24 volunteers (15 male and 9 female, aged between 22 and 60 years) with confirmed nerve root compression in the L5/S1 segment participated. Nerve root compression was verified through clinical MRI examination and attributed to disc protrusion, spinal canal stenosis, or isthmic spondylolisthesis of L5/S1. Analysis revealed no difference in M-wave threshold intensity between symptomatic and non-symptomatic limbs. However, the H-reflex exhibited a trend toward increased threshold intensity in the symptomatic limb. Notably, a significant decrease in the slope of the H-reflex was observed on the symptomatic side, and the maximal H-reflex amplitude proved to be markedly different between the two limbs. The Hmax/Mmax ratio demonstrated a significant decrease in the symptomatic limb, indicating reduced effectiveness of signal translation. In conclusion, our findings emphasize the importance of H-reflex parameters in evaluating altered recruitment curves, offering valuable insights for neurological examinations. The observed differences in maximal values of M-wave, H-reflex, and their ratio in affected and unaffected limbs can enhance the diagnostic process for lumbosacral unilateral radiculopathy and contribute to a standardized approach in clinical assessments.

OBJECTIVES: To update a previously established list of predictors for neurological cervical cord dysfunction in nonmyelopathic degenerative cervical cord compression (NMDCCC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective observational follow-up study was performed in a cohort of 112 consecutive NMDCCC subjects (55 women and 57 men; median age 59 years, range 40-79 years), either asymptomatic (40 subjects) or presenting with cervical radiculopathy or cervical pain (72 subjects), who had completed a follow-up of at least 2 years (median duration 3 years). Development of clinical signs of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) as the main outcome was monitored and correlated with a large number of demographic, clinical, electrophysiological, and MRI parameters including diffusion tensor imaging characteristics (DTI) established at entry. RESULTS: Clinical evidence of the first signs and symptoms of DCM were found in 15 patients (13.4%). Development of DCM was associated with several parameters, including the clinical (radiculopathy, prolonged gait and run-time), electrophysiological (SEP, MEP and EMG signs of cervical cord dysfunction), and MRI (anteroposterior diameter of the cervical cord and cervical canal, cross-sectional area, compression ratio, type of compression, T2 hyperintensity). DTI parameters showed no significant predictive power. Multivariate analysis showed that radiculopathy, cross-sectional area (CSA) ≤ 70.1 mm2, and compression ratio (CR) ≤ 0.4 were the only independent significant predictors for progression into symptomatic myelopathy. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to previously described independent predictors of DCM development (radiculopathy and electrophysiological dysfunction of cervical cord), MRI parameters, namely CSA and CR, should also be considered as significant predictors for development of DCM.

Spondylotic cervical cord compression detected by imaging methods is a prerequisite for the clinical diagnosis of spondylotic cervical myelopathy (SCM). Little is known about the spontaneous course and prognosis of clinically "silent" presymptomatic spondylotic cervical cord compression (P-SCCC). The aim of the present study was to update a previously published model predictive for the development of clinically symptomatic SCM, and to assess the early and late risks of this event in a larger cohort of P-SCCC subjects. A group of 199 patients (94 women, 105 men, median age 51 years) with magnetic resonance signs of spondylotic cervical cord compression, but without clear clinical signs of myelopathy, was followed prospectively for at least 2 years (range 2-12 years). Various demographic, clinical, imaging, and electrophysiological parameters were correlated with the time for the development of symptomatic SCM. Clinical evidence of the first signs and symptoms of SCM within the follow-up period was found in 45 patients (22.6%). The 25th percentile time to clinically manifested myelopathy was 48.4 months, and symptomatic SCM developed within 12 months in 16 patients (35.5%). The presence of symptomatic cervical radiculopathy and electrophysiological abnormalities of cervical cord dysfunction detected by somatosensory or motor-evoked potentials were associated with time-to-SCM development and early development (< or =12 months) of SCM, while MRI hyperintensity predicted later (>12 months) progression to symptomatic SCM. The multivariate predictive model based on these variables correctly predicted early progression into SCM in 81.4% of the cases. In conclusion, electrophysiological abnormalities of cervical cord dysfunction together with clinical signs of cervical radiculopathy and MRI hyperintensity are useful predictors of early progression into symptomatic SCM in patients with P-SCCC. Electrophysiological evaluation of cervical cord dysfunction in patients with cervical radiculopathy or back pain is valuable. Meticulous follow-up is justified in high-risk P-SCCC cases.

The treatment of radicular pain is mainly empirical because there are only few experimental studies dealing with morphological changes during compression radiculopathy. The goal of the study was to investigate changes in the morphology of myelinated axons during spinal root compression and the influence of decompression in a new rat model. The number of myelinated axons and their diameter were measured at 1, 2, 5, and 8 weeks during compression of the dorsal spinal root. The same approach was applied for 1-week compression followed by decompression for 1 or 2 weeks and compression for 5 weeks followed by 3-week decompression. A decrease in the number of myelinated axons (particularly those of large diameters) occurred after compression for 1 week. Continued compression for up to 8 weeks resulted in centripetal increase in the number of myelinated axons and the persistence of a small fraction of large myelinated axons at the site of compression. After that time, a decreased number of axons and a reduced fraction of large myelinated axons occurred again. Decompression after 1-week compression caused a rapid increase in the number of both small and large myelinated axons within the spinal root including the site of compression. A small fraction of regenerated axons was found after 5-week compression followed by 3-week decompression. Finally, we investigated the time course of the temporary increase in the number of regenerated myelinated axons during dorsal root compression for up to 8 weeks. The efficacy of decompression was superior when applied one week after compression or after regress of the acute phase of aseptic inflammation associated with fragility of spinal root. The results of the study verify the need for early surgical decompression to prevent irreversible damage of the spinal roots.

The authors use as a basis experience with a group of 389 patients operated in 1989-1997 on account of degenerative diseases of the cervical spine with neurological manifestations. The results are compared with experience assembled in 1998-1999. In the new group (188 patients with the same diagnosis) the same indication criteria were used but in case of myelopathy associated with multisegmetal cervical stenosis not only multilevel discectomy was performed (as in the previous group) but in addition also 1-3 segmental corpectomy (somatectomy). The results were evaluated separately for both methods used. The authors emphasize the necessity of a radical approach during decompression of neurological structures incl. removal of uncovertebral osteophytes which must be combined with suitable stabilization of the fusions or possibly be supported by instrumentation. In the discussion the authors illustrate in the form of a review the development of anterior cervical corpectomy as one of the methods of an anterior approach to the cervical spine used at first in traumatic and oncological conditions, later extended to operations on account of degenerative, dysplastic conditions and other diseases. The authors wish to help to define criteria for application of corpectomy when treating stenoses of the spinal canal in the cervical region. The indication will be defined in a perspectively followed up group where a detailed clinical and electrophysiological algorithm for examination was submitted as well as postoperative follow-up and processing of the resulting data.

STUDY DESIGN: A prospective study. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the 3 different methods of interbody fusion of the cervical spine-autograft in stand-alone technique, autograft with anterior plate, and polyetheretherketone cage supported by anterior plate. The clinical and radiological data obtained were analyzed and discussed. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Although degenerative cervical spine disease has been treated by an anterior approach for more than 50 years, there is not one generally accepted operative approach. There is a very low-quality evidence of little or no difference in pain relief between each of the techniques. Iliac crest autograft still seems to be the "gold standard" for interbody fusion. METHODS: Prospective study collecting clinical and radiological data of 81 patients undergoing anterior cervical interbody fusion, in which the interbody fusion of 1 or 2 motion segments from C3 to C7 was done by any of the 3 techniques--stand-alone insertion of autograft (group 1: 28 patients), autograft and anterior plate (group 2: 18 patients), and polyetheretherketone cage filled with beta-tricalcium phosphate and plate (group 3: 29 patients). Patients were followed for 2 years after surgery. RESULTS: Significant interaction of relative height in the segment and time was found (P < 0.001). The values of the relative height of stand-alone autograft dropped below 95% of initial height and the values of the other 2 groups remained above 105%. Significant interaction of time and group was found for Cobb S angles (P < 0.001). Values of group 1 decreased substantially and remained significantly lower than values of other 2 groups. Fusion rate was 100% in all groups. Neck Disability Index group and time interaction was found (P = 0.023). During postoperative follow-up, group 1 scored in all controls higher than the other 2 groups, but differences were not significant. Visual analogue scale showed effect of time (P < 0.001). This was due to a smaller improvement of patients in group 1 during the whole follow-up in comparison with the other 2 groups. Highest proportion of unsatisfied patients was in group 1 compared with the other 2 groups after 2 years (P = 0.034). CONCLUSION: Significantly worse radiological and clinical results after 2 years of follow-up were achieved using stand-alone autograft technique in comparison with autograft supported by anterior plating similarly as in comparison with cage implant and anterior plating. Using artificial fusion substrate together with plate and cage can offer the same clinical and radiological results such as iliac autograft and plating. Anterior plating seems to be an important factor influencing the postoperative cervical spine alignment and also the clinical outcome.

OBJECTIVE: Brachial plexus injuries are usually severe and involve the entire brachial plexus, sometimes occurring with root avulsions. Imaging and electrodiagnostic studies are an essential part of the lesion evaluation; however, the results sometimes show a discrepancy. The cutaneous silent period (SP) is a spinal inhibitory reflex mediated by small-diameter A-delta nociceptive fibers. The aim of the study was to determine if cutaneous SP testing may serve as a useful aid in evaluation of brachial plexus injury and/or in the diagnosis of root avulsion. METHODS: In 19 patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury (15 males, age 18-62 years) we performed a clinical examination, CT myelography and neurophysiological testing. A needle EMG was obtained from muscles supplied by C5-T1 myotomes. Cutaneous SP was recorded after painful stimuli were delivered to the thumb (C6 dermatome), middle (C7) and little (C8) fingers while subjects maintained voluntary contraction of intrinsic hand muscles. RESULTS: Electrodiagnostic and imaging studies confirmed root avulsion (partial or total) maximally involving C5, C6 roots in 12 patients, whereas only in 4 of them the cutaneous SP was partially absent. In the remaining subjects, the cutaneous SP was preserved. CONCLUSION: In brachial plexopathy even with plurisegmental root avulsion, the cutaneous SP was mostly preserved. This method cannot be recommended as a reliable test for diagnosis of single root avulsion; however, it can provide a quick physiological confirmation of functional afferent A-delta fibers through damaged roots and/or trunks. The clinicians may add this test to the diagnosis of spinal cord dysfunction.

STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a cohort study of clinically asymptomatic spondylotic cervical cord compression cases with the primary end point of the development of clinical signs of cervical myelopathy. OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether various demographic, clinical, radiologic, and electrophysiological parameters could predict progression from clinically asymptomatic (preclinical) spondylotic cervical cord compression to symptomatic myelopathy. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The data available on the prediction of the outcome in surgical and conservative treatment of spondylotic cervical myelopathy are controversial. Little is known about the clinical natural history of asymptomatic magnetic resonance image-detected spondylotic cervical cord compression and/or changes of signal intensity. METHODS: A group of 66 patients (32 women, 34 men, median age 50 years) with magnetic resonance signs of spondylotic cervical cord compression but without clear clinical signs of myelopathy was followed prospectively for at least 2 years (range, 2-8 years; median, 4 years). Various demographic, clinical, imaging, and electrophysiological parameters were correlated with clinical outcome. RESULTS: Clinical signs of myelopathy during the follow-up period were detected in 13 patients (19.7%). The only variables significantly associated with the development of clinically symptomatic spondylotic cervical myelopathy (SCM) were the presence of symptomatic cervical radiculopathy, electromyographic signs of anterior horn lesion, and abnormal somatosensory-evoked potentials. A multivariate logistic regression model based on these variables correctly classified 90% of cases into 2 subgroups: a group with development of symptomatic SCM and that without clinical manifestation of subclinical cervical cord compression. CONCLUSIONS: Electrophysiological abnormalities together with clinical signs of cervical radiculopathy could predict clinical manifestation of preclinical spondylotic cervical cord compression.

STUDY DESIGN: Prospective observational cohort study. OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the threshold of critical spondylotic cervical cord compression and its relation to MRI-increased signal intensities. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The critical degree of spinal cord compression required to induce significant clinical signs remains unknown. METHODS: The study group consisted of 243 patients (mean age, 53.9 +/- 9.8 years), with spondylotic cervical spine compression. The transverse cross-sectional area of the spinal cord at the level of maximum compression was measured, while MRI hyperintensities were recorded and related to clinical status and quantified by modified JOA score (mJOA). RESULTS: A statistically significant difference in mJOA was shown between patients with a spinal cord sectional area of under 50 mm2 and a group of patients with a spinal cord sectional area of over 60 mm2. This difference was highly significant (P = 0.001) in a subgroup with MRI hyperintensities (187 patients, P = 0.001), whereas within the group of patients without hyperintensities this difference was not observed (P = 0.63). CONCLUSION: The critical degree of spinal cord compression needed to induce clinically significant signs was found between 50 and 60 mm2 of cross-sectional transverse area at the level of maximal compression in association with MRI hyperintensities.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is the most common cause of spinal cord dysfunction in patients over 60 years old. Symptoms often develop gradually and insidiously and are characterized by neck stiffness, arm pain, numbness and clumsiness of hands, as well as weakness of the hands and legs frequently leading to a change in mobility. Surgery is performed primarily to prevent the progression of symptoms but also with the aim of improving existing symptoms. Aim of our study was to assess the outcomes and potential complications of surgical decompression of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective data was collected from 71 patients who were treated surgically for CSM over a four-year period (June 2006 to June 2010). Only patients with confirmed spondylotic cervical myelopathy were included in the study; those with an inflammatory, infectious or neoplastic etiology were excluded. The Nurick scale was used as a primary outcome measure, and the improvement in upper limb function as a secondary outcome measure. Statistical significance was assessed using the paired t-test. RESULTS: 34/71 (47.9%) patients had an anterior decompression, 36/71 (50.7%) patients underwent posterior surgery and one patient (1.4%) received a combined approach: The Nurick score: The mean score improved by 0.9 from 2.4 preoperatively to 1.5 postoperatively for the whole series. Three patients were able to return to work. The preoperative Nurick score showed a positive correlation with the postoperative Nurick score at one year (Pearson Coefficient = 0.85). Upper limb symptoms: Postoperatively, 24 patients were free of any upper limb involvement compared with 6 patients preoperatively. The main improvement was in patients who prior to surgery had subjective symptoms with no objective signs of weakness or muscle wasting. 35/48 (72.9%) of this group showed improvement compared to 7/17 (41.2%) of patients who demonstrated objective weakness and/or wasting preoperatively. COMPLICATIONS: The overall rate of complications was 18.2%. There were two mortalities as a result of pneumonia (2.8%), one patient had to be transferred to the intensive care unit for cardiac failure (1.4%), fixation failure occurred in two patients (2.8%), worsening of myelopathy occurred in two patients (2.8%), C5 temporary radiculopathy presented in two patients (2.8%), superficial wound infection developed in one patient (1.4%) and three patients (4.2%) complained of severe axial pain in the postoperative period. DISCUSSION Our results demonstrate that the greater the preoperative disability the greater the final disability is expected to be. Cord signal change, as an indicator of the pathological severity of the disease, correlates with a worse functional outcome. The degree of improvement postoperatively (i.e. the functional change) does not show a significant correlation with the initial preoperative status. It appears however, that there is a better chance of improvement in patients with no objectively detectable weakness or muscle wasting. The rate of complications encountered in this series is comparable with those in the literature, which renders them valid for quoting when considering surgical treatment for CSM. CONCLUSION: Surgical decompression offers a real chance of improvement in the functional outcome of CSM, especially during the earlier stages of the disease. The surgical decision needs to be considered carefully due to the advanced age of the patient population and the greater burden of co-morbidities, which increase the surgical risks significantly.
