ABSTRACT: Cervical deformity, particularly kyphosis, is frequently encountered in surgical practice. While many cases are asymptomatic, some patients may have significant pain and disability. We provide a brief review of the pathophysiology of cervical deformity and the technical aspects of deformity correction in the cervical spine. Anterior techniques reviewed here include anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), anterior corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) and anterior osteotomy (ATO). Posterior techniques include laminectomy and fusion, posterior column osteotomy (PCO) and pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO). This is a fast-evolving field as our understanding of cervical deformity matures and longer-term surgical outcomes are available.
