Abstract
At the Orthopaedic University Clinic of Erlangen 57 patients affected by chronic cervical myelopathy have been operated on since 1972 acacording to the technique indicated by CLOWARD. Of these patients, 31 were subjected to regular neurological and orthopaedic checks over a period of 4 years. In the following we wish to present the results of these follow-up examinations. The youngest patient was 30 whilst the oldest was 78 years old. The majority of the patients was aged between 50 and 65 years. Men were affected 5 times more frequently than women.
