Abstract

With recent advancements in surgical spine technology and techniques, the importance of regional and global spine alignment has become an important factor in surgical planning. Our review aims to consolidate the current literature on cervical and global alignment parameters and its relationship to cervical symptomatology, quality of life (QOL), requirements for surgery, potential surgical complications and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes.
