Factors Negatively Influencing Postoperative Improvement After Laminoplasty in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy
Conclusions:
The SVA and T1 pelvic angle were significantly higher in the poor recovery group. A high preoperative SVA is an independent predictor for poor recovery after laminoplasty. Therefore, indications for laminoplasty in elderly DCM patients with a high preoperative SVA should be carefully considered.
Level of Evidence:
Level III.
