STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective study. PURPOSE: To investigate the surgical outcome for hemodialysis-related @entity75 . OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: Surgical outcome of @entity66 in @entity1 undergoing hemodialysis has been reported. However, surgical outcome for @entity75 in hemodialysis @entity1 is unclear. METHODS: @entity75 in nine @entity1 undergoing hemodialysis were surgically treated. Mean age at surgery was 61.6 years (range, 52-68 years), and the mean follow-up period was 45.4 months (range, 2-98 months). @entity1 had undergone hemodialysis for an average of 25.3 years (range, 16-40 years) at surgery. Seven @entity1 with destructive @entity5145 (DSA) of the upper cervical spine were treated with @entity9807 . Two @entity1 with retro-odontoid @entity6437 were treated with C1 posterior arch resection alone. Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores for cervical @entity602 , @entity260 , postoperative radiography, and preoperative and postoperative @entity158 were evaluated. RESULTS: Mean preoperative and postoperative JOA score was 3.7 and 8.1, respectively. The seven @entity1 with DSA had severe preoperative @entity158 that disappeared postoperatively. Postoperative radiography showed solid bone union in DSA cases and no instability in @entity6437 cases. CONCLUSIONS: Satisfactory surgical outcome was observed for hemodialysis-related @entity75 .
