| Abstract |
Surgical correction of severe and rigid cervical kyphosis with chin-on-chest deformity poses significant challenges to both the patient and surgeon once surgery is considered as the treatment of choice. This article presents the current concepts of corrective surgery for patients with severe and rigid cervical kyphosis. Narrative review and report of clinical experience. The treatment of severe cervical kyphosis indicates a dedicated deformity assessment, the analysis of regional and global imbalance, the identification of spinal sagittal plane compensation mechanisms, detailed radiographic and clinical planning of corrective surgery, and the meticulous performance of surgical correction. Most recent large-scale studies serve as evidence for the benefit of surgical correction and outline the complications that need to be targeted during and after surgery. Surgical correction of severe cervical kyphosis can be a pleasant and life-changing event for the disabled patient. |

This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 April 2018.
All research outputs
#22,767,715
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Die Orthopädie
#276
of 678 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#300,436
of 340,618 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Die Orthopädie
#8
of 35 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 678 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 340,618 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 35 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
