Transpedicle screw fixation of the cervical spine.
The use of posterior cervical spine fixation has become increasingly popular in recent years. Dissatisfaction with lateral mass fixation, especially at the cervicothoracic junction, has led spine surgeons to use cervical pedicle screw fixation for reconstruction in numerous cervical spine disorders. The biomechanical advantage of a three-column fixation device implanted to secure an unstable ce...
متن کاملScrew migration and oesophageal perforation after surgery for osteosarcoma of the cervical spine
BACKGROUND Even though internal fixation has expanded the indications for cervical spine surgery, it carries the risks of fracture or migration, with associated potential life threatening complications. Removal of metal work from the cervical spine is required in case of failure of internal fixation, but it can become challenging, especially when a great amount of scar tissue is present because...
متن کاملDelayed Esophageal Pseudodiverticulum after Anterior Cervical Spine Fixation: Report of 2 Cases
Introduction: Although perforation of the esophagus, in the anterior cervical spine fixation, is well established, cases with delayed onset, especially cases that present pseudodiverticulum, are not common. In addition, management of the perforation in this situation is debated. Case Report: Delayed esophageal pseudodiverticulum was managed in two patients with a history of anterior spine fi...
متن کاملAnatomic Study of Anterior Transdiscal Axial Screw Fixation for Subaxial Cervical Spine Injuries
Anterior transdiscal axial screw (ATAS) fixation is an alternative or supplement to the plate and screw constructs for the upper cervical spine injury. However, no existing literatures clarified the anatomic feasibility of this technique for subaxial cervical spine. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the anatomical feasibility and to establish guidelines for the use of the A...
