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. ER -
