Abstract:[Objective] To compare three treatments for cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) without major fracture or dislocation in pa- tients with pre exiting cervical spinal canal stenosis (CSCS) . [Methods] From March 2015 to March 2020, 144 patients with CSCI com- bined with CSCS were enrolled in this study. According to the results of preoperative doctor-patient communication, 51 patients underwent anterior decompression, 44 patients underwent posterior decompression, and 49 patients received conservative treatment. The clinical and imaging data of the three groups were compared. [Results] All the patients in the three groups successfully completed the treatment, without aggravation of neurological symptoms and death. The anterior group proved significantly superior to the posterior group in terms of operative time and intraoperative blood loss (P<0.05) . The ASIA neurological function grades and JOA score improved significantly over time in all three groups (P<0.05) . At 3 and 12 months later, ASIA and JOA score ranked from superior to inferior were as follows: anterior approach group, posterior approach group and conservative group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05) . Compared with those preopera- tively, the C2~7 Cobb angle and spinal canal area significantly increased in anterior and posterior approaches (P<0.05) , whereas remained unchanged among different time points in the conservative group (P>0.05) . [Conclusion] Anterior decompression achieve the best out- comes for CSCI combined with CSCS in this study .
