Fig. 2From: A comparison study of posterior cervical percutaneous endoscopic ventral bony decompression and simple dorsal decompression treatment in cervical spondylotic radiculopathy caused by cervical foraminal and/or lateral spinal stenosis: a clinical retrospective studyRadiological evaluation. a The cervical curvature (CA) is measured using the tangential method from C2 to C7. The segmental angle (SA) is measured the angle between the superior endplate to the inferior endplate of the cephalic and caudal vertebra using Cobb’s method. b the ratio of facet joint grinding is calculated as 100% × (G - g)/GBack to article page
