Posterior Fixation Techniques in the Subaxial Cervical Spine
This article reviews the historical context, indications, techniques, and complications of four posterior fixation techniques to stabilize the subaxial cervical spine. Specifically, posterior wiring, laminar screw fixation, lateral mass fixation, and pedicle screw fixation are among the common methods of operative fixation of the subaxial cervical spine. While wiring and laminar screw fixation ...
متن کاملUpper cervical spine injuries.
The unique anatomy of the upper cervical spine and the typical mechanisms of injury yield a predictable variety of injury patterns. Traumatic ligamentous injuries of the atlanto-occipital joint and transverse atlantal ligament are relatively uncommon, have a poor prognosis for healing, and often respond best to surgical stabilization. Bony injuries, including occipital condyle fractures, atlas ...
متن کاملUpper cervical spine trauma.
Injuries to the upper cervical spine are potentially lethal; thus, full characterization of the injuries requires an accurate history and physical examination, and management requires an in-depth understanding of the radiographic projection of the craniocervical complex. Occipital condyle fractures may represent major ligament avulsions and may be highly unstable, requiring surgery. Craniocervi...
متن کاملInnovative internal fixation for cervical spine fractures.
The increase in the number of available internal fixation devices for the cervical spine has promoted innovative stabilization of traumatic instability of the craniocervical junction. Traumatic injuries involving the craniocervical junction vary widely because of the complex osseous and ligamentous anatomy. These injuries can be purely ligamentous, such as occipitocervical dislocation, or can i...
متن کاملTranspedicle 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...
