Degenerative disease of the cervical spine refers to the progressive aging process affecting the spine, often manifesting signs and symptoms linked to compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots. Diagnosis typically involves various imaging techniques like direct radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electrophysiological studies. In most cases, non-surgical treatments are favored unless there`s ongoing neurological deterioration. Surgical intervention becomes necessary for patients unresponsive to conservative treatments. Surgical approaches such as cervical discectomy, corpectomy, laminectomy, laminoplasty, or their combinations are considered. Motion preservation surgeries have shown outcomes comparable to or better than fusion surgeries. Additionally, the adoption of cervical pedicular dynamic systems may address pathologies arising from multi-level instability in the cervical region, akin to their current usage in the lumbar region, likely gaining popularity gradually.
