Abstract
Eighty-two patients were evaluated after cervical laminoplasty to explore measures that could minimize future postoperative axial complaints. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A - severe postoperative axial symptoms, and Group B - mild axial complaints. Japanese Orthopaedic Association outcomes scores were similar for the two groups. Radiologic studies demonstrated greater restriction of range of motion in Group A patients who had undergone longer and more extensive surgical procedures.
