This report describes a new safe technique for surgical correction of rigid cervical kyphosis, in a very rare case of adult-onset Still's disease. It differs from all the previously mentioned reports of similar corrective osteotomies, the essential difference being a combined anterior (front) and posterior (back) approach performed at one stage (under a single anesthesia). The "front" is a release procedure of an open-wedge variety, and the "back" is a closed-wedge type of osteotomy. Such a double procedure ensures a slow and controlled correction at the preoperatively determined level, rather than a snapshot, rapid, and often a violent correction, which may occur at an undesired level. This osteotomy is performed under general anesthesia after an endotracheal intubation by a special "guided" maneuver. This new technique, the authors believe, is only a more comfortable option for the surgeon, but also a safer alternative for the patient.
