Metal plate fixation after anterior fusion of unstable fracture dislocations of the cervical spine. 1975

H D Herrmann

Unstable fracture dislocations due to torn ligaments, fractures of both articular processes, or detachments of entire vertebral arches from vertebral bodies still pose the problem of fixation after anterior fusion. The application of internal metal plate fixation--using the small AO (ASFI) fragment equipment--is described in 3 cases, and the advantages of this type of fixation are discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008023	Ligaments, Articular	Fibrous cords of CONNECTIVE TISSUE that attach bones to each other and hold together the many types of joints in the body. Articular ligaments are strong, elastic, and allow movement in only specific directions, depending on the individual joint.	Articular Ligament,Articular Ligaments,Ligament, Articular

D011183	Postoperative Complications	Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.
