The present Special Issue is dedicated to presenting current research topics in DCM and SCI in an attempt to bridge gaps in knowledge for both of the two main forms of SCI. The issue consists of fourteen studies, of which the majority were on DCM, the more common pathology, while three studies focused on tSCI. This issue includes two narrative reviews, three systematic reviews and nine original research papers. Areas of research covered include image studies, predictive modeling, prognostic factors, and multiple systemic or narrative reviews on various aspects of these conditions. These articles include the contributions of a diverse group of researchers with various approaches to studying SCI coming from multiple countries, including Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.

This Special Issue contains articles discussing various topics surrounding degenerative cervical myelopathy. The Issue begins with an editorial summarizing the various articles, and is followed by an introductory narrative review focusing on past perspectives, present developments, and future directions. The remaining 11 articles involve a variety of topics, ranging from genetic factors to clinical assessments, imaging, sagittal balance, surgical treatment, and outcome prediction.
