Our experience in the surgical treatment of fracture-dislocation of the cervical spine with interbody corporodesis and cervical plate

The effectiveness of surgical treatment for fractures - dislocation of the cervical spine by ventral access with the use of interbody corporodesis and fixation with a cervical plate was evaluated. 35 patients aged 18-50 years were operated on (4 women, 31 men). It was revealed that decompression of the spinal cord by ventral access during reduction and resection of the vertebral body with the installation of a cage plate. This is the optimal method of choice for traumatic injuries of the cervical spine. It has a number of advantages: adequate decompression of the spinal cord from the ventral approach, no need for autologous bone sampling, simple technique, and strong fixation.
