The article presents new developments in spine surgery. Among the new developments are advances in the treatment of the cervical spine, such as disc arthroplasty. Some of the benefits of arthroplasty can include diminished surgical morbidity and an earlier return to function. Other topics covered include updates on biologic tools for regeneration and reconstruction, spinal deformity surgery, and spinal cord injury.
