Neurological Recovery Pattern in Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy after Anterior Surgery: A Prospective Study with Literature Review

Abstract

Neurological recovery after surgical decompression starts from the 3rd postoperative month and progresses until the 6th postoperative month; thereafter, it gradually plateaus over the subsequent 6 months until it steadies. Symptom duration is an important factor that requires consideration while determining postoperative neurological recovery.
