Does Extension Dysfunction Affect Postoperative Loss of Cervical Lordosis in Patients Who Undergo Laminoplasty?

Conclusion. In our study sample, we found that there is no relation between T1 slope and LCL. We have identified a new factor, EF, that could predict LCL after laminoplasty. No significant kyphotic changes after laminoplasty occurred particularly when the EF was greater than or equal to 14°. Level of Evidence: 3
