Predictive risk factors for mechanical complications after multilevel posterior cervical instrumented fusion

Low BMD, a large number of fused vertebrae, a large preoperative C2-7 SVA, and low C2-7 lordosis were significant risk factors for mechanical complications after posterior cervical fusion surgery. The results of this study could be valuable for preoperative counseling, medical treatment, or surgical planning when multilevel posterior cervical instrumented fusion surgery is performed.
