Popis:	Cervical spine kyphotic deformities are common sequelae of degenerative disease. Patients may present with a combination of symptoms including myelopathy and radiculopathy. We retrospectively studied a cohort of 78 patients who underwent decompression and reconstruction of the cervical spine for such deformities. Decompression and reconstruction were done by vertebrectomy (51%), multilevel interbody arthrodesis (40%), posterior decompression and reconstruction (4%), and circumferential surgery (5%). In those patients whose pretreatment kyphotic deformity was more severe than -15 degrees, 10 of 27 required revision compared with only 4 of 51 patients whose initial deformities were less than -15 degrees (p
