| Objective: To evaluate the biomechanics of segmental anterior cervical decompression with fusion on multilevel cervical myelopathy. Method: On the base of finite element model from C2 to C7, we developed five different models to compare adjacent disc stress and range of motion (ROM) according to the clinical fact. Result: The adjacent disc stress with segmental decompression was lower than traditional operation and the ROM is near the same. Conclusion : The biomechanics of segmental anterior cervical decompression with fusion is better than traditional corpectomy.
