FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely surgery, neurology, neurosurgery and vertebrology, and can be used to identify a variety of forms of cervical osteochondrosis in the long-term postoperative period. The method includes clinical and neurological examination and neuroimaging examination of the patient in the preoperative period. When combined in the postoperative period with the absence of symptoms of spinal cord irritation, spinal cord roots and a neuroimaging picture of unchanged cervical intervertebral discs, a retrograde form of cervical osteochondrosis is diagnosed in the long-term postoperative period against the background of a removed intervertebral disc. When the symptoms of spinal cord root irritation persist in the postoperative period, the presence of a neuroimaging picture of degenerative effect on intervertebral discs with the presence or reactive changes in the adjacent bone tissue of the same size against the background of a removed intervertebral disc, a torpid form of cervical osteochondrosis is diagnosed in the long-term postoperative period. With a combination of the presence of symptoms of irritation of the spinal cord roots and a neuroimaging picture of the formation of protrusion, intervertebral disc prolapse, reactive changes in the adjacent bone tissue located next to the operated one and not previously included in the focus of the disease, a progredient form of cervical osteochondrosis is diagnosed in the long-term postoperative period. When combined with the presence of developed paresis of the extremities after surgical treatment and the neuroimaging picture of unchanged intervertebral discs with the presence of reactive changes in the adjacent bone tissue of the same size, a complicated form of cervical osteochondrosis is diagnosed in the long-term postoperative period.
EFFECT: expansion of the range solutions to identify the type of form of cervical osteochondrosis in the long-term postoperative period.
