BACKGROUND In cervical disc degeneration, cervical disc height (CDH) and cervical disc angle (CDA)have a certain but unidentified relationship with cervical lordosis (CL). This study aimed to reveal the relationship among CDH, CDA, and CL in patients diagnosed with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted using the data of 212 CSM patients (136 males and 76 females). According to CL angle, patients were classified into 2 groups: patients with CL ≤10° constituted Group 1 (n=102); patients with CL >10° constituted Group 2 (n=110). The CDH, CDA, and CL were measured using X-ray imaging. Pearson correlation analysis measured the correlation between CDH, CDA, and CL. Multiple linear regression was utilized to analyze the effects of CDH and CDA on CL. RESULTS The CDAs in every level were higher in Group 2 than those in Group 1 (P.
