Laminoplasty plate design is an independent risk factor for facet joint violation
Vertical laminoplasty plate orientation was associated with increased FJV risk and longer operative time, as well as greater loss of lordosis within a year postoperatively, though it did not affect pain scores. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term implications of FJV on patient outcomes.
