Preventing Construct Subsidence Following Cervical Corpectomy: The Bump-stop Technique
Cervical corpectomy is a viable technique for the treatment of multilevel cervical spine pathology. Despite multiple advances in both surgical technique and implant technology, the rate of construct subsidence can range from 6% for single-level procedures to 71% for multilevel procedures. In this technical note, we describe a novel technique, the bump-stop technique, for cervical corpectomy. Th...
متن کاملPreventing cervical cancer: beyond following guidelines.
changing knowledge can be difficult. An example of such change is our evolving understanding of the role of oncogenic viruses. When Dr. Georgios Papanicolaou developed his famous test in the 1940s, we did not know that cervical cancer is a preventable sexually transmitted infection. As our knowledge continues to evolve, clinicians need to make practical decisions based on best evidence. The pub...
متن کاملCorpectomy cage subsidence with rectangular versus round endcaps.
Corpectomy cages with rectangular endcaps utilize the stronger peripheral part of the endplate, potentially decreasing subsidence risk. The authors evaluated cage subsidence during cyclic biomechanical testing, comparing rectangular versus round endcaps. Fourteen cadaveric spinal segments (T12-L2) were dissected and potted at T12 and L2, then assigned to a rectangular (n=7) or round (n=7) endca...
متن کاملUtility of Routine Outpatient Cervical Spine Imaging Following Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion
BACKGROUND Construct failure is an uncommon but well-recognized complication following anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF). In order to screen for these complications, many centers routinely image patients at outpatient visits following surgery. There remains, however, little data on the utility of such imaging. METHODS The electronic medical record of all patients undergoing anter...
متن کاملAnterior Cervical Corpectomy; Evaluation of the Outcome
Background: Anterior cervical surgery now represents one of the most frequently performed spinal procedures. Although a majority of these procedures are localized to the intervertebral disc space, removal of a vertebra or several vertebrae may be indicated if the site of epidural compression extends beyond the level of a disc space. Objectives: The aim of this work is to evaluate the clinical a...
