Abstract |
Cervical spine deformity represents a broad spectrum of pathologies that are both complex in etiology and debilitating towards quality of life for patients. Despite advances in the understanding of drivers and outcomes of cervical spine deformity, only one classification system and one system of nomenclature for osteotomy techniques currently exist. Moreover, there is a lack of standardization regarding the indications for each technique. This article reviews the adult cervical deformity (ACD) and current classification and nomenclature for osteotomy techniques, highlighting the need for further work to develop a unified approach for each case and improve communication amongst the spine community with respect to ACD. |
