Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: Functional and Radiographic Long-term Outcome after Laminectomy and Posterior Fusion

Abstract

Cervical laminectomy with posterior fusion/fixation proved useful in the treatment of patients with CSM with straight or lordotic spines and multilevel compression. This therapy addresses the dynamic and compressive forces that are important in the pathogenesis of CSM, resulting in minimal complications and possible improvement in long-term outcomes.
