Posterior Cervicothoracic Stabilization Using Tapered Rods

Abstract: Background Data: The cervicothoracic spine is a junction area with complex biomechanics. A variety of disorders affect this region, rendering it unstable. Numerous posterior constructs have been evaluated. The clinical efficacy of a screwrod system utilizing tapered (dual-diameter) rods in cervicodorsal stabilization is still not evident. Purpose: Our aim is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of dual diameter rods (5.5-3.5mm taper), connecting 3.5-mm cervical lateral mass screws/pedicle screws and 5.5-mm thorac… Show more
