Posterior cervical fixation for fracture and degenerative disc disease.

Abstract:

:There are numerous newer techniques that have been developed for the internal fixation of the cervical spine in recent years. Wiring techniques are still appropriate for posterior stabilization of the cervical spine. The halo vest is still widely used for the conservative management of cervical fractures and for postoperative external immobilization. The authors stress that the surgical indications for more modern rigid implants should be adhered to strictly. These implants also should be selected by weighing their advantages versus potential risks. In the upper cervical spine, the surgeon may choose traditional wiring methods and newer C1-C2 screw fixation, occipitocervical plate fixation. For the lower cervical spine, triple wiring technique or lateral mass plating may be used. The surgeon must choose an appropriate device based on the mechanism of injury, pathoanatomy of the lesion, and familiarity with the device, keeping in mind that the goals of internal fixation are stabilization, reduction and maintenance of alignment, early rehabilitation and perhaps enhancement of fusion rates, and avoidance of use of an external halo vest.
