ABSTRACT
Single-door laminoplasty has been widely used in the treatment of multisegment cervical myelopathy, with the clinical advantages of decompression of the spinal cord, relieving preoperative neurological symptoms or signs, and maintaining cervical mobility. However, in clinical work, patients with limited cervical spine activity after single open door laminoplasty are often encountered, and the direct contact with the adjacent vertebral arch can be observed in the postoperative X-ray of the anterior and lateral cervical spine, which is called the adjacent vertebral arch bone impact, which is one of the important causes of the limited cervical spine movement. In recent years, there have been many reports on the prevention of bone impact, although the short-term clinical effect is significant, but long-term clinical efficacy to be further study, and the cause and the pathogenesis of bone impact is no consensus, this paper on the surgery of adjacent vertebral arch impact epidemiology, biomechanics, clinical performance, surgical effect and improvement.
