Abstract
<p> We discuss cervical radiculopathy cases and consider the selection of anterior cervical surgery or posterior cervical surgery based on the lesion site and pathology. Lesions causing radiculopathy include anterior elements, such as disc herniation and intervertebral bony spurs, and posterior elements, including facet hypertrophy, thickened yellow ligament, and periarticular fibrous tissue. At the point of the lesion sites, we also must take into account the anatomical situation. Finally, we show the surgical strategy for cervical radiculopathy in our institutes and simultaneously describe the postoperative complications of anterior cervical surgery, as artificial disc replacement surgery will increase in the near future in Japan.</p>
