Jeff Langmaid introduces and will review a recent study on the role of atlantoaxial and subaxial spinal instability in cervical spinal degeneration. The study—titled "Defining role of Atlantoaxial and Sub Axial Spinal Instability in the pathogenesis of Cervical Spinal degeneration Experience with only fixation without any decompression as treatment in 374 cases over 10 years"—reports treatment using only fixation (fusion) without decompression across 374 cases over a 10-year period; the host emphasizes understanding instability to prevent progression toward surgical intervention.

10 years.

Chapters

On today's episode we have a fascinating brand new study that is all around spinal instability and its role in spinal degenerative conditions and changes. Fascinating study, massive amount of take home information. We'll dive into it and much more on today's episode. The study is actually about fusion surgery without decompression, but it is critical for us to understand the underpinnings of this study so we can head this off before these patients even get towards surgical intervention. So awesome study. I'll drop a link to it in the show. Notes the title is Defining role of Atlantoaxial and Sub Axial Spinal Instability in the pathogenesis of Cervical Spinal degeneration Experience with only fixation without any decompression as treatment in 374 cases over 10 years.
