Abstract
Accepted laminoplasty techniques may limit one's ability to decompress cervical nerve roots and the constructs may fail leading to restenosis of the cervical spinal canal. A simple laminoplasty technique has been developed using titanium miniplates that permits adequate decompression of the cervical spinal cord and bilateral cervical nerve roots, and successfully reconstructs an enlarged rigid spinal canal.Keywords
