[Current issues in x-ray diagnosis of cervical osteochondrosis in the course of medical rehabilitation].
The results of studying 500 patients with neurological manifestations of cervical osteochondrosis are presented. All the patients underwent in the vertical position X-ray studies in the frontal, lateral, and axial projections, as well as functional spondylography. The development of radiological signs in patients with cervical osteochondrosis and that of the morphological and functional signs of degenerative and dystrophic changes in the cervical spine are discussed. Comprehensive evaluation of osteochondrosis used criteria for cervical motor disorders and impaired disk amortizing and spinal fixing functions. The degree of intradural space compression was also estimated. The studies have yielded a new classification of osteochondrosis and recommendations at the stages of medical rehabilitation.
