Summary: This study compared the outcomes of three or more level posterior cervical fusions ending in the cervical spine versus those extended into the thoracic spine. The results showed no significant differences in revision rates, patient reported outcomes, or radiographic outcomes between the two groups. Furthermore, the study suggests that extending posterior cervical fusions into the thoracic spine may not be necessary for most patients.
