  Objective: To determine functional outcome of anterior cervical decompression and fusion using tricortical iliac bone graft (ACDF) for degenerative cervical spondylotic myelopathy with modified Japanese orthopedic association score (MJOA). Materials and Methods: 60 diagnosed cases of one and two levels cervical myelopathy were prospectively analyzed preoperatively and at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year using MJOA. Results: 46 patients underwent Single level ACDF with C5-C6 the commonest level to be affected. The correlation between Duration of Symptoms to Preoperative and postoperative MJOA was statistically significant. We noted statistically significant improvement in symptoms of axial neck pain, radicular arm pain, clumsy hand, and gait disturbances post operatively at one year. Statically significant difference was noted .. Read More»
