Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion versus posterior laminoplasty for multilevel cervical myelopathy: A meta-analysis

The present meta-analysis demonstrates that the rate of complications is lower in the laminoplasty. However, the cobb angle of C2-C7 was decreased in the ACDF group at the final follow-up period compared with the baseline. The outcomes of the variables blood loss, operation time, range of motion and recovery rate of JOA score, were similar in the two groups.
