The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a cylindrical titanium mesh and locking plate system as an alternative technique in achieving anterior cervical fusion and maintaining lordosis.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">Hospital records and radiographs of 38 patients who underwent anterior cervical discectomies (28 patients) or corpectomies (10 patients) from 1995 to 1997 were reviewed retrospectively. All patients had undergone arthrodesis in which autograft and a cylindrical titanium mesh and anterior locking plate fixation were used after discectomy or corpectomy. There were 20 men and 18 women (mean age 46.1 years; range 34\u201372 years). Presenting symptoms included radiculopathy (61%), myelopathy (37%), and neck pain (2%). Preoperative and postoperative radiographs were studied, and data were obtained on the following: overall lordosis or kyphosis of the cervical spine, segmental lordosis or kyphosis at each surgically treated level, and evidence of fusion.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">In all of the patients in whom lordosis was present preoperatively, lordosis was maintained during the follow-up period. The overall fusion rate was 100%. The average change in overall lordosis or kyphosis related to the fixation devices was 1.2\u00b0 (range 1\u20135\u00b0); the average segmental change was 2.3\u00b0 (range 0\u20135\u00b0); and the mean follow up was 16 months (range 12\u201336 months).<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">Anterior cervical fusion with cylindrical titanium mesh and cervical locking plate system is an effective method of achieving arthrodesis and maintaining alignment in the cervical spine. The construct may provide additional load-sharing function, and it avoids the use of cadaveric bone or the need for harvesting tricortical iliac crest autograft.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/spi.2001.94.1.0174","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,7]],"date-time":"2009-05-07T15:55:30Z","timestamp":1241711730000},"page":"174-178","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Use of cylindrical titanium mesh and locking plates in anterior cervical fusion"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"94","author":[{"given":"Kaushik","family":"Das","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William T.","family":"Couldwell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gerard","family":"Sava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rudolph F.","family":"Tadonio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"565","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-196042040-00001","article-title":"Stabilization of the cervical spine by anterior fusion.","volume":"42","author":"Bailey","year":"1960"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Surg Neurol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"25","DOI":"10.1016\/S0090-3019(97)00306-6","article-title":"Anterior cervical fusion using Caspar plating: analysis of results and review of the literature.","volume":"49","author":"Bose","year":"1998"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"602","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1958.15.6.0602","article-title":"The anterior approach for ruptured cervical discs.","volume":"15","author":"Cloward","year":"1958"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"431","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1965.23.4.0431","article-title":"Clinical evaluation of anterior cervical fusion for degenerative cervical disc disease.","volume":"23","author":"Connolly","year":"1965"},{"key":"b5","series-title":"J Spinal Disord","first-page":"202","article-title":"Anterior cervical fusion: outcome analysis of patients fused with and without anterior cervical plates.","volume":"9","author":"Connolly","year":"1996"},{"key":"b6","series-title":"J Spinal Disord","first-page":"500","article-title":"Long-term results after anterior cervical fusion and osteosynthetic stabilization for fractures and\/or dislocations of the cervical spine.","volume":"8","author":"Goffin","year":"1995"},{"key":"b7","series-title":"Spine","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"565","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199205000-00015","article-title":"The use of freeze-dried fibular allograft in anterior cervical fusion.","volume":"17","author":"Grossman","year":"1992"},{"key":"b8","series-title":"Spine","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1796","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199808150-00014","article-title":"Anterior cervical fusion with the Orion locking plate system.","volume":"23","author":"Heidecke","year":"1998"},{"key":"b9","series-title":"Spine","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1032","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199605010-00007","article-title":"Biomechanical analysis of thoracolumbar interbody constructs.
