Area of Science:

Spinal surgery
Orthopedic devices
Biomechanical analysis

Background:

Traditional posterior cervical fusion often utilized wiring techniques.
The Luque rod emerged as a recent alternative for cervical spine stabilization.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the efficacy of the one piece cervical device (OPCD) for treating cervical spine subluxation.
To correlate surgical outcomes with posterior cervical spinal fusion rationale.

Main Methods:

Clinical and radiological analysis of 187 patients treated with OPCD.
Detailed description of surgical techniques and biomechanical principles of the OPCD's corrective mechanism.

Main Results:

Follow-up ranged from 2 to 13 years across the patient cohort.
94% of patients experienced satisfactory outcomes following OPCD implantation.
No cases reported worsening of the condition or poor results.

Conclusions:

The OPCD demonstrates safety, convenience, and reliability for cervical spine stabilization.
The device is applicable across all cervical spine regions.
Enhanced correction mechanism is the key factor for OPCD's successful outcomes.
