Summary: A retrospective study found that 91.2% of patients with CSM were radiographically candidates for LP, indicating that LP may be an underutilized procedure for the treatment of CSM.

Summary: This study aimed to compare cervical sagittal parameters between patients with nonspecific neck pain (NS-NP) and patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) and cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). The results showed significant differences in cervical sagittal position among the three groups, with patients with nonspecific neck pain having smaller sagittal vertical angle (SVA) and women in the nonspecific neck pain group having more significant SVA.

Summary: The study investigated the relationship between changes in spino-cranial angle (SCA) and sagittal alignment, as well as its impact on Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores after laminoplasty (LP). Results showed that patients with higher SCA had worse NDI scores, indicating that SCA may be a good predictor for evaluating sagittal balance and surgical planning.

Summary: This prospective cohort study compares the postural stability and spatiotemporal gait parameters of preoperative cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) patients with healthy controls. The study finds that CSM patients have poorer postural stability and exhibit slower, shorter, and wider gait patterns compared to controls. They also spend more time in double support and have increased whole-body movement to maintain balance.

Summary: This retrospective study assessed the surgical outcomes of laminoplasty in 103 cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). It found that, in addition to older age and longer duration of disease, postoperative deteriorations in cervical kyphosis during neck flexion had a negative impact on outcomes.

Summary: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy patients showed a negative correlation between cervical arteriosclerosis and severity of symptoms preoperatively, with common carotid artery intima-media thickness being identified as the strongest independent factor associated with the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score.

Summary: This study developed a comprehensive score system (CSS) that considers clinical, neurophysiological, and neuroradiological data to predict outcome in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy undergoing surgery. The CSS model showed good accuracy in predicting outcomes and supporting surgeons' decisions for surgery candidates.

Summary: This article discusses the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical assessment, natural history, and treatment options in spondylotic myelopathies, as well as diagnostic modalities and assessment instruments that can be used for evaluation. The article also covers common disorders that mimic spondylotic myelopathies and helpful diagnostic clues in differentiating spondylotic and nonspondylotic myelopathies.

Summary: This study explored the ultrastructural pathology of the neurovascular unit (NVU) during the natural development of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). The findings revealed the crucial pathophysiological mechanisms of CSM through the ultrastructural destruction of NVU.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the preoperative SF-36 scale for postoperative ANP in DCM patients who underwent ACDF surgery. The results showed that the preoperative social functioning subscale score was significantly associated with the severity of postoperative ANP, serving as a reliable indicator for predicting ANP. Preoperative NRS was also found to be correlated with the severity of postoperative ANP.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 340 patients who underwent cervical laminectomy for cervical spondylotic myelopathy. The results showed that the rate of further cervical surgeries after laminectomy was low. The patients experienced decreased health-related quality of life, and some patients had cervical misalignments.

Summary: In this study, a dynamic method for the detection of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is proposed based on the nonlinear dynamics of the gait system and deterministic learning theory. Discriminant kinematic gait features are extracted using a 3D gait analysis system, and the dynamics of the gait system are modeled and identified using deterministic learning theory. The method achieves high accuracy in classifying and detecting CSM, making it a potential candidate for automatic detection in clinical examination.

Summary: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and magnetization transfer (MT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can detect spinal cord pathology and provide microstructural information. This study analyzed the parameters of major motor and sensory tracts and found correlations between DTI parameters and clinical symptoms at the lesion level.

Summary: This study analyzed the risk factors for increasing cSVA after cervical laminoplasty in CSM patients, revealing that the imbalance between T1S and preoperative C2-7 angle influences the change in cSVA, with the O-C2 angle potentially increasing to compensate and maintain horizontal gaze.
