Cervical fusion is the fusion of the user's cervical vertebrae. A person's normal cervical vertebra should have seven segments, which exist independently. However, due to the abnormal development of users, two vertebral bodies fused, and the number of cervical vertebrae decreased from 7 to 6, which is cervical fusion.

Cervical fusion can cause neck pain, limited movement and shortened neck. From the outside, the neck will be slightly shorter, and other parts may be deformed. Some users will also have dizziness, nausea, vomiting and other phenomena.

Precautions:

1. Simple cervical deformity generally does not require special treatment. Plastic or orthopedic surgery can be performed as appropriate for those with serious deformity and aesthetic impact.

2. Patients with acute cervical disc herniation can try conventional non-surgical therapy, and if it fails, remove the nucleus pulposus as soon as possible.

3. Patients with symptoms of spinal cord compression need surgery. For patients with spinal stenosis, posterior decompression of cervical spinal canal is often performed; If there is pressure in front of the spinal canal, anterior osteotomy and decompression should be performed, and bone graft fusion or artificial joint implantation should be carried out for the operated vertebral body segment as appropriate.

4. Patients with poor appearance of cervical deformity have better prognosis, and generally have no adverse reactions, while patients with spinal stenosis or spinal cord compression have different prognosis according to the degree of spinal cord involvement.
