[Favourable surgery of cervical neck instability in rheumatism].
A team project commenced 20 years ago can now present results of 150 surgical stabilising procedures for cervical neck instability in rheumatoid arthritis. The favourable results indicate widened indications. MR examination demonstrated regression of soft tissue swelling ("pannus") after surgery, which possibly contributed to the good results.
