Abstract
- Complications with cervical arthroplasty can be generalized to errors in patient selection or surgical technique. Patients with advanced spondylosis or osteophytic disease, severe facet arthropathy, osteoporosis, sagittal deformity, or preoperative instability are poor candidates for arthroplasty and are more prone to complications. Poor surgical technique can result in subsidence, expulsion, and kyphosis, and it can contribute to heterotopic ossification. Additionally, all of the inherent complications from an anterior cervical approach may occur with cervical artificial disc placement. This article will focus on the complications uniquely associated with cervical arthroplasty.<br /> (This manuscript is generously published free of charge by ISASS, the International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery.
