[Assessment of surgical correction of parameters of the vertebral-motor segment in traumas and degenerative diseases of the vertebral column].

Retrospective clinico-radial data obtained in 163 patients were compared with traumas and degenerative diseases of the vertebral column of those who were treated by decompressive and decompressive-stabilizing interventions. Characteristic alterations were determined such as considerably decreased area of the spinal canal (in 44.2% of the patients), intervertebral foramen (in 57.7%) and the volume of intervertebral canal (in 66.3%), which allowed specification of the character and volume of the operative interventions and objective assessment of adequacy of surgical correction.
