Predictive Factors for Outcomes of Anterior-Only Surgery in Multilevel Pincer-Type Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: The Role of the Posterior Compression Score

Key Points

• Outcomes relate significantly to the posterior compression score and other predictive factors involved.
• Metrics show that specific factors lead to improved surgical outcomes for patients with cervical problems.
• Assessment using clinical evaluation on multilevel pincer-type cervical spondylotic myelopathy reveals outcomes influenced by surgical techniques.
• These findings underscore the need for considering scoring systems in surgical planning for better patient outcomes.
