[Intervertebral spondylodesis of mid- an lower-cervical vertebrae using blood-supplied transplants]

The anatomical prerequisites, grounds and methods of anterior osteoplastic spondylosyndesis after traumas of the cervical part of the spinal column are described. Layer transplants from the manubrium sterni on the feeding pedicle--the breast portion of the muscle were used. The evolution of blood supplied transplants in 20 patients (out of 25 patients operated upon) was followed. The skeletal extension and plaster immobilization were used as means of additional stabilization of the spinal column. High resistance of the blood supplied transplants to microbe aggression was noted.
