OBJECTIVE: To discuss the clinical properties, operative results of @entity612 and factors correlating with prognosis. METHODS: From September 1992 to January 2001, 16 @entity1 who suffered from @entity612 caused by degeneration, ossified ligamentum flavum, diffuse idiopathic @entity4916 and @entity130 , were decompressed by operation. The operative method was selected according to the compressed position of spinal cord. All @entity1 were followed up 6 months to 9 years. The @entity158 severity, ambulatory status and @entity451 index were compared between before operation and after operation. The correlation between prognosis and ages, the length of @entity850 and the duration of disease was studied. RESULTS: The results of Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test show significant difference in @entity158 severity, ambulatory status and @entity451 index between before operation and after operation (P < 0.01). The results of partial correlation analyzing show that only the duration of disease was correlated with @entity451 index (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Thoracic @entity612 frequently develops in the lower-thoracic segments in middle and old aged @entity1 . Decompression by operation early can achieve a good clinical result. @entity66 affects the prognosis.
