Clinical outcomes after posterior cervical decompression and fusion surgery for destructive spondyloarthropathy in patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis: A matched case-control study

摘要

Background: Cervical destructive spondyloarthropathy (DSA) often leads to cervical myelopathy in long-term hemodialysis patients. However, the surgical outcomes after instrumented fusion surgery for cervical DSA are still unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of cervical DSA in comparison with a control group.
