Comparison of long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes between alternative-level and all-level fixation unilateral open-door laminoplasty

Titanium mini-plate has been used in unilateral open-door laminoplasty to maintain the open angle of laminae. Previously, both all-level fixation (C3-C7) and alternative-level (C3, C5, C7) unilateral open-door laminoplasty have been proven to have satisfactory clinical outcomes. However, whether they could achieve similar long-term clinical and radiographic efficacy is still questionable.
