Short-term and long-term effects of anterior and posterior surgical approaches on plantar pressure distribution in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy
ACDF surgery provides faster and more sustained improvement in medial plantar pressure for CSM patients, correlating with its direct relief of ventral spinal cord compression and restoration of proprioceptive conduction. Posterior surgery may optimize lateral foot pressure through long-term biomechanical compensation of spinal stability, but overall functional recovery is less pronounced compared to the anterior approach.
