Fig. 5From: Progression of local kyphosis after conservative treatment for compressive cervical spine fracture with spinal cord injuryLaminar fractures affect the initial kyphotic alignment after injury and do not affect the progression of local kyphosis. a Comparison of local cervical kyphosis between the two groups of patients with (n = 6) and without (n = 7) laminar fracture, as measured by the posterior tangent method at the time of injury. b Comparison of local cervical kyphosis between the two groups of patients with and without laminar fracture, as measured by the posterior tangent method at the time of final follow-up. c Comparison of the progression of local cervical kyphosis between the two groups of patients with and without laminar fracture as measured by the posterior tangent method. d Comparison of the local cervical kyphosis between the two groups of patients with and without laminar fracture as measured by the endplate method at the time of injury. e Comparison of local cervical kyphosis between the two groups of patients with and without laminar fracture as measured by the endplate method at the time of final follow-up. f Comparison of the progression of local cervical kyphosis between the two groups of patients with and without laminar fracture as measured by the endplate methodBack to article page
