The management of cervical myeloradiculopathy with multilevel stenosis often presents a challenging problem for spine surgeons. It can be difficult to differentiate which levels are the cause of the symptoms, and there are a multitude of approaches that can potentially achieve the same goal. In this webinar, CSRS experts discussed their approach to the treatment of cervical myeloradiculopathy including anterior and posterior approaches, fusion and non-fusion options, and hybrid procedures.

Speakers Hani Malone, MD, Thomas Mroz, MD, and John Rhee, MD discuss treatment options.
