The surgical technique of AUSS combined with Kirschner wire anchoring for the treatment of CSR is described and its preliminary clinical outcomes are evaluated to evaluate its preliminary clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Posterior endoscopic surgery has become a mainstream minimally invasive approach for the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR). Arthroscopic‐assisted uni‐portal spine surgery (AUSS), an emerging technique, has demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes in lumbar spine surgery; however, its feasibility and effectiveness in cervical spine surgery have not yet been reported. Accordingly, this technical note aimed to describe the surgical technique of AUSS combined with Kirschner wire anchoring for the treatment of CSR and to evaluate its preliminary clinical outcomes.
