Surgical intervention may be required for very severe cases of neck osteoarthritis. The procedures may involve removal of bone, osteophytes (bone spurs), or disc tissue which is compressing nerves of the spinal cord. Cervical fusion, or fusing the discs in the cervical region of the spine, may help stabilize the neck.
The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae and is located at the base of the skull. Its function is to support the skull, enabling head movements back and forth, and from side to side, as well as protecting the spinal cord.The upper section of the cervical spine consists of the first cervical vertebrae (C1) and the second cervical vertebrae (C2).ust like the other six spinal bones, spinal bone three is quite flexible, giving it the ability to aid in the bending and rotation of the neck. The fourth cervical vertebrae (C4) nerve root extends from the third cervical vertebrae (C3).
