[Uncoforaminectomy of Jung in the management of osteoarthritis of the cervical spine and the post-traumatic cervical syndrome (author's transl)]. 1979

P Kehr, and G Lang, and H Paternotte, and J B Issa, and A Mandelbaum

An anterolateral approach to the cervical spine with uncoforaminectomy is used to free the intra transverse portion of the vertebral artery (from C7 to C3) and the nerve roots. Four surgical indications are discussed; the cervicocephalic syndrome due to osteoarthritis of the joints of Luschka, the cervicobrachialgic syndrome which is often combined wirth the former, cervical myelopathy associated with osteoarthritis and the post-traumatic cervical syndrome. Clincal and neuro-radiological details are given. The results of operation are described in 149 cases and they have been successful in 82%.

D008722	Methods	A series of steps taken in order to conduct research.	Techniques,Methodological Studies,Methodological Study,Procedures,Studies, Methodological,Study, Methodological,Method,Procedure,Technique
D010003	Osteoarthritis	A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.

D020968	Brachial Plexus Neuritis	A syndrome associated with inflammation of the BRACHIAL PLEXUS. Clinical features include severe pain in the shoulder region which may be accompanied by MUSCLE WEAKNESS and loss of sensation in the upper extremity. This condition may be associated with VIRUS DISEASES; IMMUNIZATION; SURGERY; heroin use (see HEROIN DEPENDENCE); and other conditions. The term brachial neuralgia generally refers to pain associated with brachial plexus injury.
