Abstract
Surgical treatment of complex cervical spinal deformities can be challenging operations. Patients often present with debilitating conditions ranging from generalized decreased quality of life to quadriplegia. Surgical treatment can be divided into anterior, posterior, or combined procedures. A thorough understanding of anatomy, pathology, and treatment options is necessary. This article focuses on the surgical treatment of complex spinal deformity.
