Construction of a new cervical anatomically adaptive titanium mesh cage based on measurements of cervical geometry: A morphological and cadaveric study
Abstract:Mismatch between the titanium mesh cage and cervical geometries is an important factor that induces subsidence in anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF). The aim of the present study was to construct a new quadrate anatomically adaptive titanium mesh cage (AA-TMC) that matches well with the cervical geometries and segmental alignment in one-and two-level ACCF. Computed tomography (CT) scans of 54 individuals were used to measure the cervical endplate geometries. X-rays of 74 young individuals were used… Show more
