Long Term Clinical Outcome of Single Open Door Laminoplasty With Preservation of Unilateral Muscular Ligament Complex

Objective: To collect and measure the preoperative and postoperative clinical data of the patients undergoing single open-door expansive laminoplasty with preservation of musclar ligament complex through posterior cervical approach in our hospital. To summarize the long-term clinical effect and postoperative imaging changes and to analyze the long-term clinical effect of this operation on cervical spondylosis. To provide scientific basis for clinical work and theoretical research in the future.
