Cervical spine degenerative disease
Patients with diagnosis of cervical spine degenerative disease have different degrees of loss of cervical sagittal alignment, which is a process that results from the decrease in cervical disc height and causes changes in the curvatures and progressivedeformity of the cervical spine. The criteria for the physiologic reconstruction of cervical spine sagittal balance have not been defined 1).
