Subaxial cervical kyphosis, a common sagittal plane deformity, can cause pain and neurological deficits. Early detection and surgical correction are crucial for managing this spinal condition.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Deformity Correction

Background:

  • Subaxial cervical deformities predominantly manifest as kyphosis in the sagittal plane.
  • Causes include degenerative disease, trauma, tumors, and post-surgical complications.
  • Cervical deformity increases the risk of neurological deficits and chronic pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the etiology, presentation, and management of subaxial cervical deformities.
  • To highlight the importance of surgical correction for improved patient outcomes.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of surgical approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical presentations, including mechanical neck pain and myelopathy.
  • Diagnostic work-up utilizing radiography (including dynamic imaging) and advanced imaging (MRI, CT myelography).

  • Assessment of deformity and surgical strategy selection based on flexibility and facet ankylosis.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients present with varying degrees of symptoms, from asymptomatic to significant neurological deficits.
    • Imaging modalities are essential for accurate deformity assessment.
    • Surgical approaches (dorsal, ventral, combined) are chosen based on deformity characteristics.

    Conclusions:

    • Subaxial cervical kyphosis requires careful evaluation and timely intervention.
    • Surgical correction strategies must be tailored to individual patient factors.
    • Understanding the nuances of each surgical approach is vital for successful outcomes.
