[State of the osteoarticular apparatus of the craniovertebral region following restorative-reconstructive surgery].

Clinico-radiological examination of patients with a history of various types of operative treatment conducted on the craniovertebral region and cervical segment of the spine located below it established more precisely that in many cases neither decompression nor stabilization could completely arrest and eliminate the pathological process and the appearance of secondary deformities and neurological disorders in this region. That is why many operative methods for the management of lesions in this region require further study and elaboration.
