Comparison of Cervical Sagittal Alignment and Kinematics after Posterior Full-endoscopic Cervical Foraminotomy and Discectomy According to Preoperative Cervical Alignment.

CONCLUSIONS: Cervical hypo-lordosis less than 10° may not be a contra-indication for P-PECF when the change of cervical curvature is not a structural change. A larger study is necessary to identify prognostic factors. Key words: Alignment, cervical vertebrae, disc, percutaneous, endoscopes, biomechanical phenomena, surgery, lordosis, kyphosis.
