Cervical paraspinal muscle fatty degeneration and postoperative kyphosis after cervical laminoplasty
The present study demonstrated that patients with higher degree of fatty infiltration were associated with PKD. Based on our results, patients with increased cervical paraspinal degeneration may have increased risk of developing PKD. With this information, surgeons may be better equipped to predict the risk of PKD.
