Method: Thepostopera tire and preoperative CT and MR imaging were used to compare the efficacy of backward displacement and decompression of the spinal cord. Result: According to the criteria for assessment set up by Dr Yin Huafu, the result was excellent in 13 cases, good in 8 and acceptable in 3; one case failed to get any improvement. Conclusion: This operation is a safe and an effective procedure for the treatment of the majority cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy. In some cases this procedure should be done in combination with anterolateral decompression.
