C0–1 segment is kyphotic and C1 slope is always posteriorly slanted not only in lordotic cervical spine (A), but also in straight When patients have kyphotic deformity in the cervical spine between the cervical spine curvature of humans and that of possible not only to preserve C0–1 segmental motion to prevent postoperative dysphagia but also to avoid abnormal kyphotic alignment of the subaxial cervical spine after surgery. ./cache/work_cr4klrboxbdnfbqwjjdqhgztpa.pdf ./txt/work_cr4klrboxbdnfbqwjjdqhgztpa.txt
