DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0281926
Abstract: Objective Posterior full-endoscopic cervical foraminotomy (PECF) is one of minimally invasive surgical techniques for cervical radiculopathy. Because of minimal disruption of posterior cervical structures, such as facet joint, cervical kinematics was minimally changed. However, a… read more here.
