About The Book

Cervical Spine Deformity Surgery, authored by renowned spine surgeons Christopher P. Ames, K. Daniel Riew, Justin Smith, and Kuniyoshi Abumi, is the first comprehensive book dedicated solely to the evaluation and treatment of cervical spine deformities. This beautifully illustrated text serves as an invaluable resource for spine surgeons and medical professionals specializing in spinal deformities, offering a detailed and up-to-date guide on cervical spine surgeries.

With an increasing number of cervical fusion procedures being performed globally, particularly due to an aging population, this book fills a crucial gap in the literature. It begins with foundational chapters that cover clinical and radiographic assessment techniques, patient evaluation, malalignment, and disability scoring, providing the tools needed to effectively diagnose and treat cervical spine conditions.

The book goes on to explore a wide range of cervical deformities, including semi-rigid and rigid deformities, sagittal deformities, congenital cervical issues, and hemivertebra, along with detailed discussions on surgical planning and approaches for each condition. It also provides insights into managing surgical, neurological, and medical complications, risk stratification, and patient frailty.

Key features include:

• A comprehensive discussion of diverse osteotomies used in cervical spine surgery.

• Focused insights on cervical osteotomy classification systems.

• Detailed technical advice and pearls for managing complications in cervical deformity surgery.

This textbook is an essential resource for neurosurgical and orthopaedic residents, as well as practicing spine surgeons, providing both clinical insights and the latest advancements in the surgical treatment of cervical deformities.

Additionally, the book comes with complimentary access to a digital copy on Thieme MedOne, ensuring easy access to the material.
