GONZALEZ-DARDER, J.M.. Development of the anterior cervical postdiscectomy arthrodesis: bone graft, plate, intersomatic cage and plate-cage. Neurocirugía [online]. 2006, vol.17, n.2, pp.140-147. ISSN 1130-1473.
The surgical techniques for anterior cervical postdiscectomy arthrodesis are reviewed, including bone graft, cervical plates, intervertebral cages and plate-cage systems. The biomechanical advantages of each method are discussed. An alternative to arthrodesis are simple discectomy and arthroplastia with disc prosthesis. Integrated plate-cage systems are the final result in the evolution of the cervical arthrodesis developments. The available plate-cage systems are described.
