Degenerative cervical myelopathy in HIV: Rates of postoperative complications and revision following decompression surgery
Patients with HIV who develop cervical myelopathy undergo decompression at a younger age; this age difference may not be clinically significant. While patients with HIV are more likely to have higher rates of short-term medical complications, they do not experience higher 2-year rates of revision or surgical complications requiring reoperation.
