Editorial Non-fusion surgeries of the cervical spine
Anterior spinal fusion is one of the most commonly performed procedures of the cervical spine for traumatic, degenerative, or malignant conditions that require excision of intervertebral discs or vertebral bodies. Autogenous bone grafting has been shown to have a 95% or greater fusion rate for single-level surgery. The introduction of artificial spacers or bone substitutes has reduced the probl...
متن کاملA technique of strengthened anterior fusion of the cervical spine.
Two cases of the severe fracture-dislocation of the cervical spine with tetraplegia have been treated successfully with a new technique. This technique consists of anterior vertebral body fusion with a tibia span added to the Cloward's method. This procedure permitted substantial removal of ruptured disks and bone fragments, effectivelly strengthened the spine weakened by fracture, and also ena...
متن کاملAnterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Alters Whole-Spine Sagittal Alignment
PURPOSE Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has become a common spine procedure, however, there have been no previous studies on whole spine alignment changes after cervical fusion. Our purpose in this study was to determine whole spine sagittal alignment and pelvic alignment changes after ACDF. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight patients who had undergone ACDF from January 2011 to ...
متن کاملOutcomes of instrumented fusion in the pediatric cervical spine.
OBJECT The most common cause of cervical spine arthrodesis in the pediatric population is instability related to congenital or traumatic pathology. Instrumenting the cervical spine can be challenging given smaller anatomical structures, less ossified bone, and future growth potential and development. Studies in adult patients have suggested that using screw constructs results in improved outcom...
متن کاملDistal Junctional Disease after Occipitothoracic Fusion for Rheumatoid Cervical Disorders: Correlation with Cervical Spine Sagittal Alignment
Study Design Retrospective radiographic study. Objective We have performed occipitothoracic (OT) fusion for severe rheumatoid cervical disorders since 1991. In our previous study, we reported that the distal junctional disease occurred in patients with fusion of O-T4 or longer due to increased mechanical stress. The present study further evaluated the association between the distal junctional d...
