  • Title: [Development of the anterior cervical postdiscectomy arthrodesis: bone graft, plate, intersomatic cage and plate-cage].
    Author: González-Darder JM.
    Journal: Neurocirugia (Astur); 2006 Apr; 17(2):140-7; discussion 147. PubMed ID: 16721481.
    Abstract:
    The surgical techniques for anterior cervical postdiscectomy arthrodesis are reviewed, including bone graft, cervical plates, intervertebral cages and plate-cage systems. The biomechanical advantages of each method are discussed. An alternative to arthrodesis are simple discectomy and arthroplastia with disc prosthesis. Integrated plate-cage systems are the final result in the evolution of the cervical arthrodesis developments. The available plate-cage systems are described.
