    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Maxillofacial Prosthodontics
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Vertebral metastases pose challenges for neck surgery requiring specialized immobilization.
    • Standard immobilization techniques may be insufficient for complex cases.

    Observation:

    • A custom-made plaster cervical/occipital splint was designed and utilized.
    • The splint provided necessary immobilization for a patient undergoing neck surgery.

    Findings:

    • The custom splint effectively immobilized the patient's cervical and occipital regions.
    • Successful surgical intervention was achieved due to the splint's stability.

    Implications:

    • This case demonstrates the value of interdisciplinary collaboration in managing complex oncological orthopedic cases.
    • Custom maxillofacial prosthodontics can provide critical solutions in specialized surgical procedures.
