Retrospective case-control study. ⋯ The MIS-ATP technique results in a high fusion rate (96.4% of patients; 98.3% of levels). Pseudarthrosis was noted mostly at the L5-S1 discs and in smokers.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.

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 prospective multicenter study. ⋯ The results demonstrated almost comparable surgical outcomes between OD and DD laminoplasties. Lamino- plasty is a valuable technique as a therapeutic option for cervical OPLL.Level of Evidence: 2.
