Description
Mohsen Rostami and co-authors report a case series on a spine operation that corrects a rigid forward lean at the neck-chest junction. Their 2026 paper covers patients whose deformity often followed earlier neck fusion or an inflammatory spine disease. The standard correction site carries risks to arteries and nerve roots.
The operation they study removes a wedge of bone at the second thoracic vertebra instead. The team reviewed close to twenty patients treated over several years. Alignment measures improved clearly after surgery and largely held at final follow-up. Complications and repeat operations were tracked as well. The authors present this level as offering like correction with a kinder risk profile, a claim their series data are meant to test.
