Is Mini-Plate Fixation Superior to Suture Suspensory Fixation in Cervical Laminoplasty? A Meta-Analysis

Although suture suspensory fixation was associated with better postoperative JOA scores, mini-plate fixation was superior in reducing the incidence of surgical complications. To avoid severe surgical complications, mini-plate fixation is a good choice for laminoplasty for patients with MCSM. Valid evidence depends on more high-quality, randomized controlled trials in the future.
