1Department of Spine Surgery, Second Xinagya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha 410011, China.
Objective:
To evaluate the function of the cervical spine anterior screw-plate system in the early operation of cervical spine fracture and dislocation.
Methods:
One hundred and fifteen patients with fracture and dislocation of lower cervical spine treated by cervical anterior decompression, reduction, iliac crest autograft, fixed with cervical anterior locking plate (AO, spine-tech, Orion).
Results:
All the cases were free from complication except one patient was complicated with infection of the surgical wound and another one with a transient dysfunction of recurrent laryngeal nerve. Symptom of patients were significantly improved in postoperation and no hardware failure.
Conclusions:
Early anterior decompression operation for cervical fracture and dislocation can achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes, anterior cervical vertebral screw-plate system is safety, simplicity, rigidity and can provide good conditions for early anterior cervical spine operation.
