Area of Science:

  • Spine surgery
  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Anterior cervical plating stabilizes anterior cervical fusions.
  • Modern plates include dynamic options with toggling or translating screws.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight critical factors for successful anterior cervical plating.
  • To discuss complications and alternative strategies for specific spinal conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current anterior cervical plating techniques.
  • Analysis of biomechanical limitations and graft-related complications.
  • Evaluation of alternative surgical constructs for complex cases.

Main Results:

  • Meticulous plating technique, precise graft carpentry, and understanding biomechanical limits are crucial for success.

  • Multilevel corpectomies with single-strut grafts pose risks for graft-related complications.

    • Conclusions:

    • Careful surgical technique is paramount for anterior cervical plating outcomes.
    • Alternative constructs like posterior fixation or multilevel discectomy/fusion should be considered for long-strut grafts in multilevel corpectomies to mitigate risks.
