متن کاملCanal expansive laminoplasty in the management of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
BACKGROUND Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is often progressive and leads to motor and sensory impairments in the arms and legs. Canal expansive laminoplasty was initially described in Japan as an alternative to the traditional laminectomy approach. The results of this approach have not previously been described in the Israeli population. OBJECTIVES To describe the technique of CEL and presen...
متن کاملPathogenesis of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether either of two mechanical theories predicts the topographic pattern of neuropathology in cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). The compression theory states that the spinal cord is compressed between a spondylotic bar anteriorly and the ligamenta flava posteriorly. The dentate tension theory states that the spinal cord is pulled laterally by the dentate ligaments,...
