Impact of focal apex angle on postoperative decompression status of the spinal cord and neurological recovery after cervical laminoplasty

CONCLUSIONS: NRR depends on preoperative SCA type; however, it is possible to change the type of SCA after laminoplasty. Preoperative FA and C2-7 angles influence change in SCA; therefore, they are important parameters for successful decompression with cervical laminoplasty.PMID:34298506 | DOI:10.3171/2020.12.SPINE201831
