Locking posterior instrumentation in the cervical spine can be attached using 1) pedicle screws, 2) lateral mass screws, or 3) laminar hooks. This order of options is in order of decreasing technical difficulty and decreasing depth of fixation, and is thought to be in order of decreasing stability.We sought to determine whether substantially different biomechanical stability can be achieved in a two-level...
Background context: Previous studies showed anterior plates of older design to be inadequate for stabilizing the cervical spine in all loading directions. No studies have investigated enhancement in stability obtained by combining anterior and posterior plates.Purpose: To determine which modes of loading are stabilized by anterior plating after a cervical burst fracture and to determine whether adding...
