Correlation Analysis of Osteoporosis and Adjacent-level Ossification after Nterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion
Abstract：Objective To Investigate the relationship between osteoporosis and adjacent-level ossification after nterior cervical decompression and fusion.Methods The clinical data of 105 patients with cervical intervertebral disc herniation who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion(ACDF) between June 2009 and August 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Bone mineral density (BMD)before and after ACDFs 、the incidence of adjacent-level ossification after ACDFs and the degree of adjacent-level ossification after ACDFs were analysed.Results Adjacent-level ossification after ACDFs related to Low BMD and osteoporosis.Osteoporosis and the severity of adjacent-level ossification after ACDF were positively correlated.The change of Osteoporosis and the severity of adjacent-level ossification after ACDF were negatively correlated.Conclusion It may be helpful to reduce the incidence and the severity of adjacent-level ossification after ACDF by using anti-osteoporosis drug.
