Eligibility

Sex/Gender
All
Age
18 Years to 80 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients who have undergone cervical spine surgery due to diseases such as cervical degeneration, trauma, deformity, or tumor; 2. The surgical procedures include various cervical spine surgeries through the anterior approach, posterior approach, or combined approaches; 3. Complete preoperative and postoperative final follow-up cervical MRI (T2 axial position) and X-ray data are available; 4. Age range is 18 to 80 years old, with no gender restrictions.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Inclusion of cervical spine infections, tuberculosis, and primary cervical tumors (metastases can be included as appropriate); 2. History of previous cervical spine surgery; 3. Poor quality of postoperative MRI images, making it impossible to clearly delineate muscle contours; 4. Severe cervical spine deformity or trauma resulting in severe disruption of the paravertebral muscle anatomical structure; 5. Left-handed patients (to control for the potential influence of handedness on muscle development asymmetry).
