The images describe prior degenerative disc disease and cervical spondylosis and presume the prior surgery is likewise described. There is no mention of spinal cord compression or narrowing of the cervical canal and no description of cervical nerve root compression. But would definitely discuss these films with the doctor who ordered these to achieve an appropriate correlation.
