Evaluate the 10-year durability and clinical efficacy of double-door laminoplasty in individuals suffering from cervical stenotic myelopathy.
Followed patients undergoing double-door laminoplasty for cervical stenotic myelopathy over a 10-year evaluation period.
Assessed maintenance of postoperative improvements across distinct clinical subgroups, including ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, cervical spondylotic myelopathy, and athetoid cerebral palsy.
Initial postoperative benefits were sustained over 10 years in 78% of patients diagnosed with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament.
Long-term therapeutic effects persisted in most patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy, with worse durability noted specifically among individuals with athetoid cerebral palsy.
