Using the CT three-dimensional reconstruction to measure the activity degree of atlanto-occipital joint and the atlantoaxial joint in different directions and its coupling movement in healthy volunteers, and three dimensional motion range of the maximum rotation position of the upper cervical spine of cervical spondylosis patients, and to analyze the differences, verifing the reliability of the method at the meantime. ⋯ The three-dimensional CT reconstruction method has high reliability, which can be applied to measure the movement of spine. The upper cervical spine contributed the most to the direction of rotation, and the movement in all directions are accompanied by coupled motion in the other direction. There was no significant difference in the rotation of the upper cervical spine between cervical spondylosis patients and normal subjects.

To explore the therapeutic efficacy of manual reduction combined with percutaneous vertebroplasty in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures(OVCFs) with intravertebral clefts. ⋯ In the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with intravertebral clefts, the manual reduction combined with PVP is more effective than single PVP, which can effectively prevent vertebral body recollapse and improve the long-term efficacy of patients.
