Biomechanical study using cadaveric cervical spines. ⋯ Increases in the range of extension and lateral bending at C0-C1, which had not been reported previously, were observed. Further, the range of rotation on the right and left sides increased, in conjunction with the increased ranges at C0-C1 and C1-C2.Level of Evidence: N/A.
-
A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. ⋯ Constructing a prognostic ML model for surgical outcomes in patients with OPLL is feasible, suggesting the potential application of ML for predictive models of spinal surgery.Level of Evidence: 4.
-
A cervical biomechanical study. ⋯ CBCT combined with 3D-3D registration was used to accurately measure and record the ROMs of lateral bending, axial rotation, and flexion-extension in cervical vertebrae under physiological-load conditions. Our findings may contribute to the diagnosis of cervical spinal disease, the development of new surgical techniques, and the restoration of normal, cervical segmental movement.Level of Evidence: 3.
-
This is an anatomic study using cadaveric material. ⋯ The sublaminar ridge in the lateral recess may contribute to degenerative lumbar stenosis. Comprehensive appreciation of this anatomy may facilitate thorough lateral recess decompression.Level of Evidence: 4.
-
A bibliometric review of the literature. ⋯ Our study provided an extensive list of the most historically significant articles regarding cervical myelopathy, acknowledging the key contributions made to the advancement of this field.Level of Evidence: 5.
