Unilateral open-door laminoplasty alone with and without foraminoplasty for the treatment of mixed cervical spondylosis

Key Points

• To evaluate the efficacy of unilateral open-door laminoplasty with and without foraminoplasty for treating mixed cervical spondylosis.
• Conducted a comparative analysis of patients undergoing laminoplasty with foraminoplasty versus those without.
• Evaluated clinical outcomes post-surgery with specific focus on nerve compression symptoms.
• Used imaging techniques to assess anatomical changes post-treatment.
• Patients who underwent laminoplasty with foraminoplasty showed improved relief of nerve compression symptoms.
• The study found no significant difference in recovery times between the two surgical approaches.
• Both interventions were successful in treating mixed cervical spondylosis effectively.
