Area of Science:

  • Spinal Surgery
  • Orthopedic Biomechanics
  • Bone Grafting Alternatives

Background:

  • Anterior cervical fusion is a common procedure for spinal stabilization.
  • Traditional methods often involve autologous bone grafting, which carries risks of donor-site morbidity.
  • Novel implant systems aim to improve outcomes and reduce complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the IntExt device combined with xenograft for anterior cervical fusion.
  • To assess clinical and radiographic outcomes in a cohort of 30 patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 30 patients (23 male, 7 female; age 18-83) undergoing anterior cervical fusion with IntExt and xenograft.
  • Data collected included pain, range of motion, neurological status, and return-to-work.

  • Radiography and CT scans assessed xenograft integration, fusion, and hardware integrity.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean follow-up was 14 months. No screw loosening or breakage observed.
    • 20 out of 28 patients reported no neck pain.
    • Radiographic evidence of bone union or clinical stability was noted in 23 patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The IntExt device demonstrates effectiveness in stabilizing traumatic cervical fractures.
    • It presents advantages over traditional grafting by avoiding donor-site complications and the need for a postoperative collar.
