Background Many patients with cervical radiculopathy experience stenosis of the neural
foramens due to cumulative osteophyte or uncovertebral joint hypertrophy. For cervical …

Background Biomechanical studies have demonstrated that uncovertebral joint contributes
to segment mobility and stability to a certain extent. Simultaneously, osteophytes arising …

or bilateral uncinate resection (UR) combined with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion …

Background: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been established as a
classic procedure for the management of cervical radiculopathy. However, it is unclear …

BACKGROUND Meningiomas of the spinal canal comprise up to 40% of all spinal tumors.
The standard management of these tumors is gross total resection. The outcome and extent …
