Patients suffering from ankylosing spondylitis are not only predisposed to the development of rigid cervicothoracic deformities but are also at an increased risk of cervical fractures. Deformity correction and stabilization are particularly challenging in this patient population due to the brittle bone quality and low bone mineral density. Thoracic pedicle subtraction osteotomy is a workhorse approach

The widespread success of cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) has led to an interest in expanding indications beyond those outlined in the initial Food and Drug Administration investigational device exemption studies. Some of these off-label indications currently include 3-level and 4-level CDA, hybrid constructs with adjacent segment anterior cervical discectomy and fusion or corpectomy constructs, pre-existing

Cervical disk arthroplasty (CDA) is well-studied for 1-level and 2-level cervical pathology. There is an increasing trend towards its utilization for greater than 2-level disease as an alternative to the gold standard, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The number of high-level, prospective studies or randomized trials regarding multilevel CDA is limited but continues to grow as the procedure
