Application of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scale (JOAS) in primary spine tumors.

29 May 2013 1 6K Report

JOA Scale is an objective assessment scale quantitating the severity of the spondylotic myelopathy based on four categories. Can it be applied to evaluate the pre- and postoperative degree of "NEUROLOGICAL STATUS" in "PRIMARY SPINE TUMORS" ?

Ashok Kumar Rai

I finally decided to apply "Frankel Classification System" to evaluate the Pre and Postoperative degree of Neurological Status in Primary Spine Tumors. Since my Study is an Retrospective Study, I found it to be the Best.

Suggestions are welcomed.

Thank You.
