Abstract
This update reviews current thinking on the development of cervical spine problems and describes the histological and macroscopic changes in rheumatoid arthritis. A plea is made for a standard classification and grading system so that comparisons of various treatment policies can be scientifically assessed. The various types of surgical procedure are described and outcome evaluated on the basis of the natural history of the condition.
