Abstract

A retrospective study of anterior cervical fusion in post-laminectomy swan-neck deformity was carried out, the objective being to observe the effect of anterior interbody fusion on the post-laminectomy swan-neck deformity. Independent segmental interbody fusion procedure was more effective than that of the multi-joint single graft fusion in correcting the deformed cervical spine. However, there was more loss of correction as well as a slightly higher fusion failure in the former procedure than the latter.
