What is spondylogenic cervical spondylosis?

  Cervical spondylosis is a common and frequent disease in orthopedic surgery, with an incidence rate of about 10% in the population. Among those who visit the clinic for cervical spondylosis, 12% of patients aged 1-20 years old and 25% of patients aged 21-30 years old. Therefore, some medical experts exclaimed: cervical spondylosis is becoming younger. According to a survey data from the Beijing Institute of Labor Health and Occupational Disease Prevention and Control: cervical spondylosis, which was mostly found in middle-aged and elderly people, is becoming younger year by year. Among them, computer workers in related industries under 40 years old account for more than 50% of the incidence of cervical spondylosis.  A survey of 2000 cases of cervical spondylosis patients shows that the proportion of teenagers has increased from 8.7% in 1996 to 12%. In the past five years, the cervical spondylosis outpatient data also confirmed that the incidence of cervical spondylosis among young people around 30 years old has been on the rise year by year. More of them are engaged in writing work, such as journalists, office workers, white-collar employees, typists, especially those who use computers for a long time have a higher incidence and are mostly younger, and even high school students just in their teens have cervical spondylosis. The results of the survey on the incidence of cervical spondylosis among college students show that the incidence of cervical spondylosis among college students increased from September 1995 to August 2002, from 0.045% in the 1995 school year to 0.726% in the 2001 school year, and there is a tendency to continue to develop. Except for the fourth year, the incidence rate increased with grade and showed a phenomenon of high female and low male. x-ray lateral radiographs showed that the physiological curvature of the cervical spine was mostly altered, with 25.5 of the student patients having a normal cervical shape, 55.3% having a straightened cervical shape, and 19.2% having a retroflexed cervical shape. There is a relationship between the onset of cervical spondylosis and the number of academic burdens, and the continued increase in incidence is associated with long-term ambulatory learning behavior.  In addition, cervical heart syndrome is a chest symptom caused by cervical spondylosis. According to statistics, only 24% of patients with cervical spondylosis under the age of 50, while 80%-90% of elderly people over 60 years old have cervical spine lesions on X-ray, so this disease occurs mostly in elderly patients.
