Clinical Predictors of Surgical Outcomes and Imaging Features in Single Segmental Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy with Lower Cervical Instability.

CONCLUSIONS Patients suffering from CSM with LCI have higher incidence of ISI of the spinal cord. Longer duration of symptoms, lower preoperative JOA score, and more preoperative physical signs were highly predictive of poor surgical outcomes for patients with single segmental CSM with LCI.
