Four models (intact, transvertebral body polyaxial screw with interbody distractor [polyaxial\u2009+\u2009distractor], transvertebral body polyaxial screw without interbody distractor [polyaxial\u2009\u2212\u2009distractor] and bicortical transpedicular pins\/polymethylmethacrylate [pin-PMMA]) were applied to C6\u20137 sequentially on the same specimens. Angular range of motion (AROM) in the form of flexion and extension was measured at C4\u20135, C5\u20136 and C6\u20137 in all groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results\u2003Treated vertebral specimens had significantly less AROM than unaltered specimens. There was no significant difference in AROM between the experimental groups at C6 and C7. Angular range of motion ratio in flexion\u2013extension was 80.8, 72.7 and 78.3% for polyaxial\u2009+\u2009distractor, polyaxial\u2009\u2212\u2009distractor and pin-PMMA groups, respectively, which were less than the intact group. There was no significant increase in the range of motion of the adjacent vertebrae after stabilization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion\u2003Stabilization obtained with transvertebral body polyaxial screws was comparable to that from the well-established bicortical pins\/PMMA construct.
