This was a retrospective study and was approved by the Ethical Committee of our hospital. We reviewed cervical spondylosis patients undergoing surgery in our hospital between January 2014 and December 2021 in our orthopedic department.

In this work, the inclusion criteria were as follows: [1 (link)] diagnosis of cervical spondylosis; [2 (link)] patients with preoperative cervical CT and X-ray within 1 week before surgery; and [3 (link)] accept cervical surgery at our orthopedic department.
