Divisione di Ortopedia e Traumatologia, Ospedale Molinette, Torino.

The authors report 31 cases submitted to transversectomy and uncosectomy according to the Jung and Kehr method for the treatment of vertebrobasilar insufficiency secondary to compression of the vertebral artery due to cervical uncoarthrosis. The results obtained were all classified as excellent or good. Emphasis is placed on several diagnostic aspects such as arteriographic investigation, and some details of the surgical technique used for the prevention of complications are discussed.
