Records were evaluated for signalment, duration of clinical signs, number and location of compression sites, grade of ataxia, duration of hospitalisation and complications. Long\u2010term follow\u2010up was obtained through clinical re\u2010evaluation, postoperative radiographs and owner contact.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Breeds were mixed. Median age was 24 (range 12\u2010168) months. There were 2\/10 mares, 4\/10 geldings and 4\/10 stallions. Preoperative grade of ataxia ranged from 1\u20103\/5. Fusion was performed at one (n\u00a0=\u00a03) or two (n\u00a0=\u00a07) sites. Two horses were euthanised within the first year. In 6 of 8 horses with \u22651\u2010year follow\u2010up, ataxia improved by 1\u20103 grades, with an average improvement of 1.25 grades. In four horses, ataxia improved to grade 0\u20101. In two horses the gait was unaffected, but neck comfort improved. Complications included seroma formation (n\u00a0=\u00a09), pain (n\u00a0=\u00a05), fever (n\u00a0=\u00a04), upper respiratory tract obstruction (n\u00a0=\u00a02), azotemia (n\u00a0=\u00a02), screw breakage (n\u00a0=\u00a02), progression of neurological signs (n\u00a0=\u00a01), Horner's Syndrome (n\u00a0=\u00a01), dysphagia (n\u00a0=\u00a01), hives (n\u00a0=\u00a01), implant infection (n\u00a0=\u00a01) and nondisplaced fracture (n\u00a0=\u00a01).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Small case series, heterogeneous patient population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This technique resulted in \u22651 grade gait improvement in 6\/10 cases operated and 6\/8 cases for which \u22651\u2010year follow\u2010up was available, similar to other methods.
