Complications in Treating Complex Cervical Deformities
Complication rates remain high following cervical deformity correction, particularly in patients with prior fusion. Nevertheless, significant neurological function gains occur. Meticulous preoperative planning-alignment goals, modifiable risk-factor optimization, and judicious use of advanced instrumentation-is critical to mitigate complications and enhance long-term outcomes.
