Contribution of Lordotic Correction on C5 Palsy Following Cervical Laminectomy and Fusion.

Background: C5 palsy is a well-reported complication of cervical spine surgery. The implication of sagittal cervical alignment parameters and their changes after surgery on the incidence of C5 palsy remains unclear.

Objective: We review cervical alignment changes in our cases of C5 palsy after cervical laminectomy and fusion.
