Objective: To evaluate the ability of plate cervical laminoplasty to achieve low complications rate.Methods: 127 patients who underwent plate cervical laminoplasty for cervical myelopathy and had available postoperative follow up and MRI formed the basis of this study.In all cases a 4-mm round burr was used to create the hinge at the junction of the lateral mass and lamina by completely removing the dorsal cortex and thinning the ventral cortex until the hinge could be produced.Laminoplasty plates were used as fixation and the spinous process were removed.Fellow up and MRI scans obtained at 3,6 and 12 months postoperatively were assessed for complications.Results: No plate failures,dislodgements,or premature closures occurred in any of the levels at any time postoperatively.Only one patient had the complication of axial neck pain (0.78%),no patient had the complication of C5 palsy.MRI review demonstrated that the curve of cervical spinal cord (convex forward) were near normal,paravertebral muscles were not affected by remaining spinous process and laminoplaty.Conclusion: Plate laminoplasty proved stable reconstruction of an expanded lamina arch with no failures dislodgements,adverse neurologic consequences,or premature closures in 298 levels.The rate of axial neck pain and C5 palsy complications were significance lower than sutures way.There were no significance affective in curve of cervical spinal cord and paravertbral muscles.
