To investigate the incidence and clinical features of laminar closure in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) based on prospectively collected data. Laminar closure after single open-door laminoplasty (LAMP) has been reported to result in poor clinical outcomes. However, no studies to date have examined the underlying mechanisms and frequency of laminar closure after double-door LAMP. This study prospectively enrolled 128 consecutive patients with CSM scheduled for double-door LAMP without a laminar spacer at our hospital between 2008 and 2013. Sagittal parameters including C2-7 angle, T1 slope, and cervical sagittal vertical axis (C-SVA) which is defined as the distance between the anterior margin of the external auditory canal plumb line and the posterior-cranial corner of the C7 vertebral body on X-ray, were calculated before and after the operation. Laminar angle was also measured on magnetic resonance images preoperatively and at 1 week and 1 year postominar closure after double-door LAMP without a laminar spacer. Laminar closure occurred exclusively in elderly patients with kyphotic deformity after LAMP.Level of Evidence 4. Retrospective review of 159 surgically treated consecutive adult symptomatic lumbar deformity (ASLD) (65 ± 9 y, female 94%) from a multicenter database. To provide a comprehensive analysis of the risk of a poor clinical outcome in ASLD surgery. Poor-risk patients with ASLD remain poorly characterized. ASLD was defined as age >40y with a lumbar curve ≥ 30° or C7SVA≥ 5 cm and SRS22 pain or function < 4. Poor outcome was defined as 2y SRS22 total < 4 or pain, function or satisfaction≤ 3. The outcomes of interest included age, gender, BMI, BMD, Schwab-SRS type, frailty, history of arthroplasty, UIV, LIV, levels involved, PSO, LIF, sagittal alignment, GAP score, baseline SRS22r score, EBL, TOS, and severe adverse event (SAE).
