K-Line Tilt May Influence the Short-Term Surgical Outcomes After Laminoplasty in Patients With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy.

Study Design: A retrospective study.

Objectives: To explore the relationship between K-line tilt and short-term surgical outcomes following laminoplasty in patients with multilevel degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), and to evaluate the potential of K-line tilt as a reliable preoperative predictor.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for 125 consecutive patients who underwent laminoplasty for multilevel DCM.

Accuracy of Realigned K-line for Predicting Surgical Outcomes After Laminoplasty in Patients With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy.

Study Design: A prospective cohort study.

Objectives: To report a new index, the realigned K-line, for predicting surgical outcomes after laminoplasty in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM).

Methods: One hundred twenty-eight patients with DCM undergoing laminoplasty were enrolled from January 2018 to April 2021 in our department.

Severity Assessment of Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy Based on Intelligent Video Analysis.

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) has a high incidence in the middle-aged and elderly people. According to clinical research, there is a connection between hand dexterity and cervical nerves. So the surgeon makes a preliminary assessment of the severity of CSM based on a 10-second grip and release (G&R) test.
