Background Many efforts to reduce axial symptoms after cervical laminoplasty have been tried and reported; nevertheless, avoiding the axial symptoms has not yet been solved. There have been some reports that preserving the muscles attached to the C7 spinous process could reduce axial symptoms. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether axial symptoms can be reduced by preserving the C7 spinous process with its muscles attached during cervical laminoplasty.
