Involvement of the cervical spine is common in rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical presentation can be variable, and symptoms may be due to neck pain or compressive myeloradiculopathy. We discuss the pathology, grading systems, clinical presentation, indications for surgery and surgical management of cervical myelopathy related to rheumatoid arthritis in this paper. We describe our surgical technique and results. We recommend early consultation for surgical management when involvement of the cervical spine is suspected in rheumatoid arthritis. Even patients with advanced cervical myelopathy should be discussed for surgical treatment, since in our experience improvement in function after surgery is common.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive connective tissue disorder. Patients with RA have several concerns relevant to the anesthesiologist. RA can affect multiple organ systems beyond simply the joints. A thorough history and physical is needed to evaluate for cardiac, respiratory, and neurologic abnormalities. Furthermore, cervical spine involvement is very common for patients with RA. Special consideration is needed for airway management of these patients. In addition, radiographic imaging may be helpful in evaluating the extent of the disease. Regional and neuraxial anesthesia may be alternatives to general anesthesia in patients with RA when possible. This chapter discusses preoperative assessment and intraoperative management of patients with RA.

AbstractA brief resume of management of rheumatoid arthritis in India is highlighted causes of deformity its radiological features and the goals of its management are discussed. Management included medical drug treatment, physical therapy and surgical treatment including synovectomy, osteotomies and joint replacement. Brief description of involvement of cervical spine in rheumatoid arthritis is also made.The evolution of treatment of scoliosis starting from conservative to all stages of surgical treatment is also described. Surgical correction involved posterior instrumentation and fusion anterior release with or without instrumentation and fusion. Treatment of congenital and paralytic scoliosis is also discussed. Newer surgical modalities in treatment of paediatric scoliosis was also highlighted.
