Objective. To analyze results of clinical application of the developed technique for stabilization of the cervical vertebrae and restoration of the segmental cervical sagittal contour with vertical cylindrical mesh implants. Material and Methods. Results of surgical treatment in two patients with cervical spine disorders were analyzed. Patients underwent anterior interbody fusion with vertical cylindrical mesh implants having the adapted caudal terminal portion in accordance with the developed technique. Results. Both patients demonstrated differential positive dynamics of clinical symptoms. Long-term treatment results were assessed as excellent in one case and as good in the other according to Odom's criteria. No complications associated with the developed technique of anterior interbody fusion were registered during and at different terms after surgery. Conclusion. This technique provides full contact between the implant terminal portion and the vertebral body with the account for segmental cervical sagittal contour, which reduces the load per unit area of the vertebral bone and the risk of the implant postoperative dislocation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
