| Title |
Titanium cage-assisted polymethylmethacrylate reconstruction for cervical spinal metastasis |
| Date |
2005 |
| Description |
Reconstruction and stabilization of the cervical spine after vertebrectomy is an important goal in the surgical management of spinal metastasis. The authors describe their reconstruction technique using a titanium cage-Silastic tube construct injected with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) augmented by an anterior cervical plate. The surgical results using this technique are reviewed. |
