      abstract     = {This study investigates the epidemiology and
                      posttherapeutic quality of life of patients, who underwent
                      an operative stabilization of an osseous or discoligamental
                      instability of the cervical spine between 30.06.2000 and
                      23.03.2009 at the department of Orthopedic Trauma Surgery,
                      University Hospital of Aachen. The clinical data of 89
                      patients was recorded and the patients’ subjective quality
                      of life was assessed by questionnaires, including the
                      validated questionnaires SF-36, the ODI and an investigator
                      designed questionnaire. Cervical spine instabilities were
                      mostly caused by different kind of trauma, including high
                      velocity trauma as well as common falls; the later mentioned
                      occurred particularly in older patients. On average,
                      patients’ age was 54 years; mean age of women was older
                      than age of men. Patients with an instability of the dens
                      axis were older than patients with an instability of a
                      vertebral body. Segments C2, C6 and C7 were most frequently
                      affected. About $25\%$ of the patients suffered from sensory
                      deficits. Only one patient had paresis. Approximately $25\%$
                      of the patients developed postoperative complications.
                      Quality of life was assessed on 35 patients. Compared to
                      normative values, patients after surgical stabilization of
                      the cervical spine showed significantly reduced quality of
                      life in all aspects of the SF-36, but there was a great
                      inter-individual variability in the data and patients
                      without any complaints existed. The ODI also revealed a
                      moderate impairment because of pain and difficulties in
                      coping the everyday-life within the patient group. For the
                      aspects „age“, „sex“, „kind of instability“,
                      „luxation“, „reason for instability“ and a
                      non-standard-method of stabilization, an influence on the
                      post-therapeutic quality of life was shown.},
