POSTERIOR FUSION AND INTERSPINOUS STABILIZATION WITH WIRE IN LOW CERCIVAL INJURIES
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1990, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Fifteen patients with cervical dislocation and fracture - dislocation were terated with posterior stabilization. Following reduction, posterior fusion was done with a bone graft which was removed from the iliac crest and the dislocated vertebrae were stabilizied with wiring through the spinous processes. Anterior and posterior stabilization was done in 2 patients who have had significant vertebral compression. No significant complication of the technique was observed in the patients. To lessen the problems as late instability and deformity which would be seen with conservative treatment frequently, seems possible with posterior surgical stabilization.
