Achondroplasia and cervical laminoplasty
Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2009Achondroplasia is associated with short pedicles that predispose individuals with this trait to develop symptomatic spinal canal stenosis. Laminoplasty is an excellent means of treating cervical myelopathy due to stenosis in selected individuals. Laminoplasty preserves segmental motion and stability, both of which are of benefit to all individuals. The

Cervical laminoplasty: a critical review
Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2003Object. The technique of cervical laminoplasty was developed to decompress the spinal canal in patients with multilevel anterior compression caused by ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament or cervical spondylosis. There is a paucity of data confirming its superiority to laminectomy with regard to neurological outcome, preserving spinal ...

Cervical laminoplasty was developed in Japan in the early 1970s to resolve postoperative problems after conventional laminectomy for instability and deformity which caused a recurrence of myelopathy; there have since been many modifications. The aim of laminoplasty is to expand the spinal canal, to preserve the posterior structure of the cervical spine

Vascularized Pedicled Laminoplasty
Surgical Neurology, 1997Various advantages of a laminoplasty over the conventional laminectomy have been listed in the recent literature. An alternative method of vascularized pedicled laminoplasty is described in this report.A linear cut is made in the laminae in their lateral aspects and two or more laminae are elevated as a flap and pedicled on supraspinous, interspinous ...

Is cervical lordosis relevant in laminoplasty?
The Spine Journal, 2013Laminoplasty aims to decompress the spinal cord and stabilize the cervical spine in patients with multilevel cervical lesions. Not every patient with cervical compressive myelopathy is a good candidate for laminoplasty. Most studies recommend that neutral or kyphotic alignments are contraindications for laminoplasty.

Anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) and laminectomy used to be the only available surgical options for patients with myelopathy caused by ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Laminoplasty was devised to address problems associated with ACDF; i.e., intraoperative nerve injury, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, pseudarthrosis,

Postoperative Changes at the Lower End of Cervical Laminoplasty
Journal of Spinal Disorders & Techniques, 2006C3-C7 laminoplasty has been the standard treatment for cervical myelopathy, although several recent reports described C3-C6 laminoplasty for preserving the muscles inserting in C7 and reducing postoperative axial symptoms. However, postoperative changes at C6/C7 of the lower end of C3-C6 laminoplasty, especially regarding a possibility of postoperative

Cervical muscle strength after laminoplasty [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Science, 2003 To determine changes in cervical muscle strength after laminoplasty and to evaluate the relation between muscle strength and neck pain, we measured maximum isometric muscle strength using a handheld dynamometer. We also investigated neck pain before surgery and every month after surgery in 21 subjects who had undergone French-door laminoplasty.

OPEN-DOOR EXPANSILE CERVICAL LAMINOPLASTY
Neurosurgery, 2007Open-door expansile laminoplasty is a practical surgical technique for the treatment of cervical myelopathy secondary to cervical spinal stenosis. Laminoplasty procedures were first described in the late 1970s and have undergone numerous modifications.

Preventing C5 Palsy After Laminoplasty
Spine, 2003The incidences of postoperative C5 palsy between a group treated by a standardized diagnostic and surgical treatment and a control group treated by a different cervical laminoplastic technique were prospectively compared.To investigate the cause, risk factors, and prevention of C5 palsy after laminoplasty for cervical myelopathy.No one factor could ...
