Polymethacrylate bone cement proved safe and effective for stabilizing cervical discopathy patients via anterior approach surgery. This study found no complications, supporting its recommendation for spinal fusion procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Cervical discopathy presents a significant clinical challenge requiring effective surgical stabilization.
  • Polymethacrylate bone cement is a potential biomaterial for spinal fusion procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of polymethacrylate bone cement as a stabilizing material in anterior cervical discopathy surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 45 patients undergoing anterior cervical surgery between 1995-1999.
  • Utilized polymethacrylate bone cement for single-level (84.4%) or two-level (15.6%) fixation.
  • Observed patients for 2-48 months post-operation.

Main Results:

  • Hospitalization averaged 7.5 days (range: 3-23 days).
  • No complications directly related to the polymethacrylate bone cement were reported.
  • Successful stabilization was achieved in all cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Polymethacrylate bone cement is a safe and effective biomaterial for anterior cervical fusion.
    • Recommend polymethacrylate bone cement for patients with cervical discopathy requiring anterior surgical stabilization.
