STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case report. PURPOSE: Long-term follow-up. METHODS: A 44-year follow-up after surgery at the age of 1 year for @entity1635 with original and current information. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This long a follow-up after so young a fusion has not previously been reported. Shorter follow-ups have not revealed the problems this @entity1 has had subsequently. RESULTS: @entity1643 began 22 years after surgery (age 23 years) and cervical @entity158 began 24 years after surgery (age 25 years). Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion plus posterior fusion of two disc levels were necessary at the age of 36 years. Continued @entity1643 resulting from multilevel degeneration causes @entity717 . CONCLUSIONS: This @entity1 had an excellent result from his posterior spine fusion at the age of 1 year, with no loss of curve correction, no "crankshafting," and minimal loss of vital capacity. Long-term follow-up did indicate major disabilities resulting from both cervical and lumbar @entity179 .
