This study intended to investigate the combined Impact of mK-line and mSC-line on the selection of the surgical approach and whether could be used to predict sufficient decompression of cervical spinal cord and clinical outcome in patients after LAMP.
This study intended to collect MRI of Patients with Multilevel Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy. K-line(-) patients can be performed LAMP surgery for better prognosis if mK-line(+) and Typeâ… SC-line in MRI, but there are doubts on Typeâ…¡ and Typeâ…¢. However, there has been no study that investigated the combination role of the mK-line and SC-line in surgical decision making for patients with MCSM. In this study, the investigators defined mK-line as a straight line connecting the midpoints of the anteroposterior canal diameter at cranial and caudal vertebrae of the open-door segment in MRI. Accordingly, the investigators propose a modified spinal cord line(mSC-line) that is a straight line connecting the postero-inferior point of the spinal cord at cranial and caudal vertebrae of the open-door segment in MRI, and simplify the mSC-line types into mSC-line(+) and mSC-line(-). In other words, mK-line and mSC-line in MRI are not fixed, but vary depending on the preoperative open-door segments. This study included patients with LAMP surgery for follow up, whose mK-line and mSC-line in MRI were double-positive for preoperative deciding open-door segments.

| MCSM | This study collected MRI images and baseline information of patients with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM) and underwent Laminoplasty (LAMP) surgery in Nantong First People's Hospital. No interventions would be used. This study just collect the MRI images pre- or postoperation to investigate the effect of the combination of mk-line and mSC-line on the selection of the surgical approach and whether could be used to predict sufficient decompression of cervical spinal cord and clinical outcome in patients after LAMP. |

| Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score | The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score is widely used to assess the severity of clinical symptoms in patients with cervical compressive myelopathy. Scoring details refer to the Japanese orthopaedic association score (JOA-score modified by Keller 1993) | From 2020 to 2026 |
| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score | A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is one of the pain rating scales used for the first time in 1921 by Hayes and Patterson.The pain VAS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity, used to record patients' pain progression, or compare pain severity between patients with similar conditions. VAS can be presented in a way a straight horizontal line of fixed length, usually 100 mm. The ends are defined as the extreme limits of the parameter to be measured (symptom, pain, health) orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best). Patients points the scores and the investigators recorded. | From 2020 to 2026 |
| Neck Disability Index(NDI) score | The NDI can be scored as a raw score doubled and expressed as a percent. Each section is scored on a 0 to 5 rating scale, in which zero means 'No pain' and 5 means 'Worst imaginable pain'. Points summed to a total score. The test can be interpreted as a raw score, with a maximum score of 50, or as a percentage. 0 points or 0% means : no activity limitations , 50 points or 100% means complete activity limitation. | From 2020 to 2026 |

The Cobb angle is obtained by drawing parallel lines extending from the lower endplate of the most superior vertebral level (C2) and the lower endplate of the most inferior vertebral level (C7). |

| Ishihara's Cervical Curvature Index(CCI) | Ishihara's Cervical Curvature Index(CCI) = (a1 + a2 + a3 + a4)/L*100, where a1 - 4 are the distances between the posterior margins of the inferior endplates of vertebral bodies and a line between the posterior aspects of the inferior endplates of C2 and C7(distance defined as L). | From 2020 to 2026 |
