[Analysis of imaging characteristics and effectiveness of cervical spondylotic myelopathy with cervical kyphosis].

Objective: To investigate the imaging characteristics of cervical kyphosis and spinal cord compression in cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) with cervical kyphosis and the influence on effectiveness.

Methods: The clinical data of 36 patients with single-segment CSM with cervical kyphosis who were admitted between January 2020 and December 2022 and met the selection criteria were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the positional relationship between the kyphosis focal on cervical spine X-ray film and the spinal cord compression point on MRI: the same group (group A, 20 cases, both points were in the same position), the adjacent group (group B, 10 cases, both points were located adjacent to each other), and the separated group (group C, 6 cases, both points were located >1 vertebra away from each other).

[Radiological features of degenerative cervical kyphosis and relationship between sagittal parameters].

Objective: To investigate the radiological features of degenerative cervical kyphosis (DCK) and the relationship between cervical sagittal parameters.

Methods: The quality of life scores and imaging data of 89 patients with DCK treated between February 2019 and February 2022 were retrospectively analysed. There were 47 males and 42 females, with an average age of 48.
