Quantitative Anatomy of C7 Vertebra in Southern Chinese for Insertion of Lateral Mass Screws and Pedicle Screws
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. PURPOSE To analyze the quantitative anatomy of C7 vertebra for insertion of lateral mass screws and pedicle screws in Southern Chinese patients. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE C7 lateral mass is smaller when compared to other subaxial cervical levels, which limits the length of lateral mass screws that can be used. Some studies have suggested pedicle screws for bet...
متن کاملSafety and efficacy of lateral mass screws at C7 in the treatment of cervical degenerative disease
BACKGROUND To evaluate the safety and efficacy of lateral mass screws at C7 in the treatment of cervical degenerative disease. METHODS Patients with cervical degenerative disease who underwent posterior cervical fusion and fixation from 2009 to 2015 were included in the study. All complications were captured. Postoperative X-ray and computed tomography (CT) confirmed fusion at 6 and 12 months...
متن کاملOccipitocervical fixation using occipital bone hooks and cervical lateral mass screws: analysis of 16 cases.
AIM We present a series of 16 patients who underwent occipitocervical fixation with occipital bone hooks used as a substitute for occipital screws for the treatment of occipitocervical instability. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this technique; instrumentation was started following the decompression with insertion of screws into lateral masses. At the occipital level, two symmetrical burr holes were...
متن کاملFeasibility of intralaminar, lateral mass, or pedicle axis vertebra screws in children under 10 years of age: a tomographic study.
BACKGROUND There are several techniques for screw insertion in upper cervical spine surgery, and the use of the 3.5-mm screw is usually the standard. However, there is no consensus regarding the feasibility of using these screws in the pediatric population. OBJECTIVE To determine the measurement of the lamina angle, lamina and pedicle length and thickness, and lateral mass length of the topog...
متن کاملSurgical training using three-dimensional simulation in placement of cervical lateral mass screws: a blinded randomized control trial.
BACKGROUND CONTEXT The skills and knowledge that residents have to master has increased, yet the amount of hours that the residents are allowed to work has been reduced. There is a strong need to improve training techniques to compensate for these changes. One approach is to use simulation-training methods to shorten the learning curve for surgeons in training. PURPOSE To analyze the effect o...
