    This study compared laminectomy fusion fixation (LF) and single open-door laminoplasty (LP) for multi-segment cervical canal stenosis with central cord syndrome.

  • 2

    The analysis included 112 patients, with 59 in the LF group and 53 in the LP group, assessing clinical and radiological outcomes.

  • 3

    LF showed significantly better Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores, recovery rates, and intrinsic hand muscle strength compared to LP.

  • 4

    Complication rates were similar between the LF and LP groups, indicating both procedures had comparable safety profiles.

  • 5

    Multivariate analysis identified higher preoperative JOA and IHMS as protective factors for favorable recovery outcomes.
