The posterior elements along with the various ligaments are removed en bloc and are stabilized in a lift-up position by placing hydroxyapatite (HA) laminar spacers and titanium miniplates and screws. The procedure and clinical results are discussed.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Methods.<\/jats:italic> The posterior spinal elements, including the lamina(e), spinous process(es), and various attached ligaments, are removed en bloc by incising the lamina in its lateral aspect. Trapezoid-shaped HA spacers are placed between the cut ends of the laminae or between the laminae and lateral masses bilaterally at each level. Malleable titanium miniplates and screws are used for fixation of the spacers. The fixation of transected laminae was judged to be successful. Postoperative care included application of a soft neck collar for 1 week but no further restriction of activity. Surgery-related outcome was assessed in the 21 patients who attended more than 6 months of follow up after laminoplasty. There were 18 men and three women who ranged in age from 27 to 81 years. Cervical stenotic myelopathy was demonstrated in 15 patients who underwent decompressive and expansive laminoplasty, and spinal tumors were documented in six patients who underwent a nonexpansive laminoplasty. Postoperative and follow-up computerized tomography scans demonstrated no hardware failure. Bone formation around the spacers was observed either at 6- or at 9-month follow-up examination in all 21 patients. Fusion of the reconstructed laminae was found to be completed at 12 months in all 18 patients able to attend follow up for this duration. Spinal alignment and the range of motion of the cervical spine were well preserved. In patients with stenotic cervical myelopathy, neurological and anatomical outcome of canal expansion were satisfactory.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> This technique enables rigid laminoplasty while maintaining anatomical and biomechanical integrity of posterior elements of cervical spine. Expansive and nonexpansive laminoplasty procedures are possible.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/spi.2002.97.3.0323","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,7]],"date-time":"2009-05-07T15:54:19Z","timestamp":1241711659000},"page":"323-329","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Hydroxyapatite laminar spacers and titanium miniplates in cervical laminoplasty"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"Takeo","family":"Goto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenji","family":"Ohata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toshihiro","family":"Takami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Misao","family":"Nishikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naohiro","family":"Tsuyuguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michiharu","family":"Morino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuhiro","family":"Matusaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akimasa","family":"Nishio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuichi","family":"Inoue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mitsuhiro","family":"Hara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Hokkaido Igaku Zasshi","first-page":"468","article-title":"[Histological investigation on hydroxyapatite ceramics as materials of artificial bone grafts in the cervical spine.]","volume":"66","author":"Akino","year":"1991"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Science and Medical Applications of Hydroxyapatite.","author":"Aoki","year":"1991"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"Spine","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"139","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-197706000-00006","article-title":"Long term follow up of surgical treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.","volume":"2","author":"Crandall","year":"1977"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"J Prosthet Dent","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"551","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-3913(79)90253-1","article-title":"Immediate dental root implants from synthetic dense calcium hydroxylapatite.","volume":"42","author":"Denissen","year":"1979"},{"key":"b5","series-title":"Clin Plast Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"733","DOI":"10.1016\/S0094-1298(20)31295-5","article-title":"Correction of the deficient alveolar ridge.","volume":"16","author":"El Deeb","year":"1989"},{"key":"b6","series-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien)","first-page":"185","article-title":"Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and myelopathy.","volume":"31","author":"Gregorius","year":"1975"},{"key":"b7","series-title":"Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"S10","DOI":"10.1177\/00034894860950S203","article-title":"Reconstruction of the ossicular chain with hydroxyapatite implants.","volume":"95","author":"Grote","year":"1986"},{"key":"b8","series-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien)","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"131","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01404860","article-title":"T-laminoplasty\u2014a surgical approach for cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
