Abstract
Postoperative immobilization in patients with cervical dystonia requiring fusion presents a unique management problem. Two patients with severe degenerative cervical spine disease secondary to chronic repetitive motion are reported. Both required a surgical fusion and postoperative immobilization. Botulinum toxin was injected intramuscularly to assist in immobilization. The technique used is described.
