Rigid cervical deformities are difficult problems to treat. The goals of surgical
treatment include deformity correction, achieving a rigid fusion, and performing
a thorough neural decompression. In stiff and ankylosed cervical spines,
osteotomies are required to restore sagittal and coronal balance. In this
chapter, we describe the clinical and radiographic workup for patients with
cervical deformities, and delineate the various factors that must be considered
when planning surgical treatment. We also describe in detail the various types of
cervical osteotomies, along with their surgical technique, advantages, and
potential complications.
