Laminectomy vs. laminoplasty for treating multi-segment cervical canal stenosis combined with central cord syndrome in the absence of fracture or dislocation: a retrospective study
To compare the outcomes of laminectomy fusion fixation (LF) and single open-door laminoplasty (LP) for multi-segmental cervical canal stenosis with central cord syndrome without fracture/dislocation.
Key Findings:
LF group had significantly better final JOA scores, recovery rates, intrinsic hand muscle strength, and BASIC scores compared to LP group (P < 0.05).
LF achieved superior postoperative C2–7 Cobb angles despite reduced range of motion.
SVA decreased significantly in LF group but increased in LP group.
LF showed superior outcomes in K-line (-) patients.
Complication rates did not differ significantly between groups.
Interpretation:
Remove unsupported conclusions about outcomes.
Limitations:
Retrospective design may introduce bias.
Limited follow-up duration of at least 24 months may not capture long-term outcomes.
Conclusion:
Revise to reflect only the findings without unsupported claims.
