The curvature and range of motion of the cervical spine decrease after laminaplasty. However, to our knowledge these changes have not been studied prospectively. Also, the effect of laminaplasty on the mobility of the occipito-atlanto-axial joints has not been studied in detail. The purpose of our study was to prospectively evaluate the range of motion and curvature of the cervical spine, including the occipito-atlanto-axial joints, following laminaplasty.
