Despite advances in the surgical treatment of cervical deformities, few resources detail modern clinical assessment, radiographic evaluation, and surgical approaches. \u003ccite\u003eCervical Spine Deformity Surgery\u003c/cite\u003e by world-renowned spine surgeons Christopher Ames, K. Daniel Riew, Justin Smith, and Kuniyoshi Abumi fills a void in the literature.

Opening chapters provide primers on the clinical and radiographic assessment of patients, malalignment and disability scores, and the physical exam. Subsequent chapters detail surgical planning and approaches for a full spectrum of cervical spine conditions, such as semi-rigid and rigid deformities, sagittal deformities, distal junctional kyphosis, congenital cervical deformity, and hemivertebra.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eInsightful technical nuances and pearls on managing surgical, neurological, and medical complications associated with cervical procedures, as well as risk stratification and patient frailty\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDiverse osteotomies including low grade, uncovertebral joint (anterior view), cervical pedicle subtraction, cervical opening wedge, upper thoracic, C1-2 joint, and cervical pedicle screw fixation\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFocused discussion on continuing efforts to create a clinically meaningful comprehensive cervical osteotomy classification system\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurosurgical and orthopaedic residents and practicing spine surgeons who treat patients with cervical deformities will greatly benefit from consulting this comprehensive and unique resource.\u003c/p\u003e |
