Cervical spine compression of nerves causing unstable walking is mainly considered to be spinal cord type cervical spondylosis, which is caused by a herniated intervertebral disc compressing the posterior spinal canal resulting in the central nerve, and the sensation of walking on cotton in both lower limbs due to the compression. Conservative treatment for this type of cervical spondylosis is ineffective, and surgery is needed to relieve the nerve compression and improve nerve function in order to recover. Before surgery, MRI and X-ray examination of the cervical spine should be completed to clarify the site of protrusion and the degree of compression, and the surgical options include anterior subtotal vertebral body decompression implantation and internal fixation, or posterior opening of the vertebral plate with double-door decompression and internal fixation. Surgery is only to release the nerve compression, nerve function recovery needs itself, the earlier the surgery treatment the smaller the degree of nerve compression, the faster the recovery speed. Once paraplegia occurs later, it is difficult to recover from surgery again, and surgical treatment is the gold standard for the treatment of this disease.
