Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Introduction: Facet joints are anatomical structures that are known to be crucial for determining spinal biomechanical motion; however, the potential relationship between facet orientation and the development of cervical spondylolisthesis remains unclear. Thus, in this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between facet orientation and cervical spondylolisthesis as well as myelopathy. Methods: Facet orientation in the cervical spine was investigated using computed tomography in 103 patients with cervical myelopathy, and facet inclination was measured on axial, coronal, and sagittal reconstructed images. Patients were divided into anterolisthesis, retrolisthesis, and no spondylolisthesis groups at each intervertebral level (C2/3-C6/7 levels). Results: Facet joints in the anterolisthesis and retrolisthesis groups tended to slope posterolaterally and downward laterally compared with those in the no spondylolisthesis group at C3/4, C4/5, and C5/6 levels (P<0.001). Conclusions: The posterolaterally oriented and laterally downward sloping facet at C3/4 and C4/5 levels may be a risk factor for the development of cervical spondylolisthesis as well as symptomatic myelopathy.
