C2 Slope as an Independent Predictor of Cervical Lordosis Loss Following Laminoplasty
Cervical radiographic measurements demonstrate that the C2 slope is an independent predictor of cervical lordosis loss after laminoplasty, aiding preoperative risk assessment and surgical decision‐making. ABSTRACT Objective Postoperative loss of cervical lordosis remains a common and clinically relevant complication following laminoplasty, negatively ...

A case of recurrent cervical spondylolisthesis following cervical laminoplasty
We report a case of recurrent cervical spondylolisthesis following cervical laminoplasty. A 77-year-old woman with progressive quadriplegia due to cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) without spondylolisthesis was treated with C3 to 5 French-door ...

Relationship between developmental canal stenosis and surgical results of anterior decompression and fusion in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) has long been the preferred treatment for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). However, few studies have focused on surgical results of CSM in patients with developmental canal stenosis (DCS)

Cervical laminoplasty: indication, technique, complications
Cervical laminoplasty is a non-fusion, decompression procedure for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). It is most commonly indicated for patients with multilevel stenosis who have preserved sagittal alignment and minimal to no axial neck pain related to spondylosis. Expansion of the laminar arch can allow for direct and indirect decompression of the

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a common cause of spinal cord dysfunction. Because its symptoms may resemble those of intracranial tumors, patients can be misdiagnosed and undergo inappropriate spinal procedures. We describe three patients initially treated with cervical decompression under the impression of CSM.
