Surgical treatment of cervical kyphosis [PDF]
European Spine Journal, 2010 Cervical kyphosis is an uncommon but potentially debilitating and challenging condition. We reviewed the etiology, presentation, clinical and radiological evaluation, and treatment of cervical kyphosis. Based on the current controversy as to the ideal mode of surgical management, we paid particular attention to the available surgical strategies.

Biomechanical rational for development of cervical kyphosis deformity: a finite element analysis [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal DisordersObjective Alterations in cervical curvature can redistribute stress and strain among intervertebral discs (IVDs), facet joints, and neck muscles, potentially initiating degenerative changes that contribute to the development of cervical kyphosis.

Nontraumatic Spondylolisthesis of the Axis with Cervical Kyphosis. [PDF]
Case Rep Orthop, 2020 This study aimed at presenting a rare nontraumatic spondylolisthesis of the axis and considering its possible cause. Traumatic spondylolisthesis of the axis, called hangman’s fracture, frequently occurs as a high-energy trauma. However, nontraumatic spondylolisthesis of the axis is quite rare, and relevant literature on this condition is scarce.
