Anterior Controllable Antedisplacement and Fusion (ACAF) for Cervical Stenosis Patients With Hyperextension Injury: A Retrospective Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, 2025 • January 1, 2025

This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of ACAF for cervical stenosis patients with CCS due to hyperextension injury. Finally, 13 patients (7 male and 6 female) with the minimum of 12-­m...

KEY FINDING: ACAF can be a good option for treating CCS patients due to hyperextension injury with underlying cervical spondylosis and stenosis.

Contact heat evoked potentials reveal distinct patterns of spinal cord impairment in degenerative cervical myelopathy beyond MRI lesions

Eur J Neurol, 2025 • January 1, 2025

CHEPs revealed distinct patterns of spinal cord impairment independent of structural T2-­positive lesions, which were associated with measures of cord motion. CHEPs thus provide valuable complementary...

KEY FINDING: Abnormal CHEPs were present in T2-­positive DCM (C6:41%; C8:32%; T4:24%) and T2-­negative DCM (C6:35%; C8:54%; T4:26%).
