Cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, and lumbar lordosis are the major components of the physiological curvatures of the spine in the sagittal plane.
If that angle possesses lower values then it stands for limiting the
cervical lordosis, a higher angulation of the lower segments, and increasing the compressive forces of that area [18,11].
In the surgical treatment of multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy, PEEK cages are superior to titanium cages in maintaining
cervical lordosis and intervertebral height, resulting in good clinical results.23 In our study we tried to compare the results of ACDF procedure with titanium and PEEK cages.
Decreased Vertebral Artery Hemodynamics in Patients with Loss of
Cervical Lordosis. Medical Science Monitor.
Reliability of
cervical lordosis measurement techniques on long-cassette radiographs.
MR imaging findings reported in patients from South-East Asia and Japan include loss of attachment (LOA) of the dura to the lamina, asymmetric lower cervical spinal cord atrophy, spinal cord T2 hyperintensity, loss of
cervical lordosis in the neutral position and forward displacement of the dura with flexion MR imaging.
Festa [6] found the relationship between
cervical lordosis and cranial base and mandibular length.
Martensmeier (1992)11 showed that before treatment nearly half of the Class I and Class II patients had a marked
cervical lordosis, whereas Class III patients had abnormal kyphosis.
