Objective To clarify whether the modified laminoplasty with C3 laminectomy preserving the
semispinalis cervicis (SSC) inserted into C2 could maintain the postopertive range of motion …

Study Design. Results of C4–C7 laminoplasty with C3 laminectomy and C3–C7
laminoplasty were compared. Objectives. To clarify prospectively whether the modified …

Background Many efforts to reduce axial symptoms after cervical laminoplasty have been
tried and reported; nevertheless, avoiding the axial symptoms has not yet been solved …

Although difficulties with neck mobility often interfere with patients' activities of daily living
(ADL) after cervical laminoplasty, there was no detailed study on the relation between the …

Some patients who had cervical laminoplasty with subsequent substantial loss of cervical
lordosis have shown failed healing of a repaired semispinalis cervicis. We also have …

Study Design. Retrospective case-controlled study of cervical laminoplasty. Objective. To
evaluate the alignment and clinical result by laminoplasty when the C2 lamina is contained …

Background context Open-door laminoplasty often results in postoperative complications
such as loss of cervical lordosis, limitations of cervical motion, and axial symptoms …

Object The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between preservation of the
insertion of the deep extensor musculature of the cervical spine at C-2 and postoperative …

AIM: Some restriction and complications, such as progression of kyphosis, incidence of axial
neck pain and decrease of postoperative cervical range of motion are concern. We designed …
