This 7-year multicenter randomized controlled trial compared TDA with ACDF.
Equivalency was found in neck pain, arm pain, functional status, and adverse events.
Patients who underwent TDA were less likely to undergo secondary surgery compared
with patients who underwent ACDF. Level of evidence: I.

This retrospective review reported on long-term clinical outcomes in patients treated
with laminoplasty for cervical degenerative disease. JOA scores and neurologic

Arthroplasty, oblique corpectomy, skip laminectomy: evaluation of comparative

In this systematic review of alternative treatment options for CSM, insufficient
evidence exists to preferentially recommend TDA over ACDF or skip laminectomy
over open-door laminoplasty. Oblique corpectomy is not recommended as a first-line
treatment, given its high morbidity.

Degenerative Disease of the
Thoracic Spine
Christopher G. Furey, MD
Abstract
Clinically relevant degenerative disease of the thoracic spine is relatively
uncommon because of the inherent stability provided by the rib cage.
However, disk herniation or spinal stenosis can cause spinal cord
compression with resulting severe neurologic consequences. When
indicated, surgery can be effective in relieving pain and preserving or
restoring function. Various surgical strategies can be used in the thoracic
spine and are based on the type and location of the compressive pathology,
the clinical history of the patient, and the experience of the treating surgeon.

Introduction
Although the thoracic spine is susceptible to the same degenerative cascade
that occurs throughout the spinal column, clinically relevant disk herniations
and spinal stenosis are much less common than in the cervical and lumbar
spines. The relative protection of the thoracic spine arises mainly from the
inherent stability afforded by the rib cage. However, compression of the
thoracic spinal cord can result in severe symptoms and progressive

neurologic dysfunction. Given the relatively infrequent occurrence of
thoracic pathology, a high index of suspicion is required for prompt,
appropriate diagnosis. When indicated, thoracic spine surgery is technically
challenging because of the vulnerability of the thoracic spinal cord and the
array of surgical approaches and techniques available (Figure 1).
Nonetheless, with the appropriate indications and technique, surgery can
result in a predictably high degree of symptomatic relief and neurologic
improvement.
Anatomy
The unique features of the thoracic spine provide greater proportionate
stability than elsewhere in the spinal column. The anterior articulation of the
ribs with the sternum provides substantial rigidity in flexion and extension.
However, the caudal third of the thoracic spine is less rigid. Ribs 8 through
10, the “false ribs,” articulate by using elongated costal cartilage attached to
the inferior sternum. The free-floating 11th and 12th ribs have no sternal
articulation. In addition, the facets become more coronally oriented in the
lower thoracic spine, similar to the lumbar facets. Together, these anatomic
differences allow proportionately greater motion in the lower thoracic spine.
Degenerative changes and clinically relevant thoracic disk herniations and
spinal stenosis are proportionately more common.
Several anatomic features make the spinal cord more susceptible to injury
in the thoracic region. The spinal cord occupies a greater proportion of the
thoracic spinal canal than within the cervical spine, which makes it more
susceptible to extrinsic compression from pathologic processes. The thoracic
canal is especially narrow cranially to T6 and gradually increases in diameter
toward the thoracolumbar junction.1 Congenital thoracic stenosis has a
prevalence of 1% and is less common than in the cervical or lumbar spine,
but similarly predisposes individuals to extrinsic compression.
The kyphotic alignment of the thoracic spine predisposes the spinal cord
to drape over ventrally located disk pathology. The blood supply of the
thoracic spinal cord is relatively tenuous compared with that of the cervical
spine, especially in the watershed region of T4 through T9, resulting in a
proportionately greater susceptibility to mechanical and vascular insult.
