Spine - C2 Slope and Post-Laminoplasty Cervical Lordosis Changes

This episode delves into the relationship between the C2 slope and the preservation of cervical lordosis after laminoplasty. Based on a full-text review of a study published in Orthopaedic Surgery in 2026, we explore its retrospective design and the implications of the C2 slope as an independent predictor of lordosis loss in patients undergoing this procedure. The discussion highlights the key findings regarding radiographic outcomes and their clinical significance for surgical planning and patient management.
