Spine - Spinocranial Angle Changes After CSM Surgical Interventions

This episode delves into the comparative impact of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) versus laminoplasty on the spinocranial angle in patients suffering from multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Drawing from a retrospective cohort study published in Medicine in 2026 (full text), we analyze the study's design, the patient population, and its significant findings. Understand how these different surgical approaches influence head and neck alignment and what this means for clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.
