Efficacy of Titanium Mesh Cages for Anterior Column Reconstruction after Thoracolumbar Corpectomy.
STUDY DESIGN This retrospective study was conducted to determine the safety and efficacy of titanium cage reconstruction and anterior plating after thoracolumbar corpectomy. PURPOSE To study the clinical and radiological outcome of anterior column reconstruction after thoracolumbar corpectomy. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Anterior column reconstruction aims to optimize neural decompression with a...
متن کاملPolyetheretherketone Cages Alone with Allograft for Three-Level Anterior Cervical Fusion
A total of 25 consecutive patients suffering from degenerative cervical disc disease who underwent three-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) including polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages packed with allograft were followed up for at least two years. The fusion rate reached 72% (18/25), and asymptomatic pseudarthrosis was seen in 6 patients but without mobility on flexion-extensio...
متن کاملAnterior cervical discectomy and fusion: Comparison of titanium and polyetheretherketone cages
BACKGROUND Titanium (TTN) cages have a higher modulus of elasticity when compared with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages. This suggests that TTN-cages could show more frequent cage subsidence after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and therefore might lead to a higher loss of correction. We compared the long term results of stand-alone PEEK- and TTN-cages in a comparable patient co...
متن کاملEfficacy and safety of the use of titanium mesh cages and anterior cervical plates for interbody fusion after anterior cervical corpectomy.
BACKGROUND To determine the safety and effectiveness of the use of titanium mesh cages (TMCs) and anterior cervical plates (ACPs) for interbody fusion after anterior cervical corpectomy. METHODS From June 2001 to June 2003, 15 patients underwent reconstruction with TMCs and ACPs for interbody fusion after anterior cervical corpectomy in our hospital. The mean follow-up is 13.6 months (range, ...
متن کاملDistractable vertebral cages for reconstruction after cervical corpectomy.
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study of 20 patients with degenerative cervical spinal canal stenosis who were treated with corpectomy followed by the placement of a distractable titanium cage (anterior distraction device [ADD]) (Ulrich GmbH & Co. KG, Ulm, Germany). OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of distractable titanium cages for reconstruction following decompressive cervical corpectomy. ...
