ABSTRACT
Continuous advances in diagnosis and treatment of cervical spine diseases have modified their surgical indications. Complex degenerative cervical disease not responding to conservative treatment is its main indication, with an important increase in these types of surgical procedures, also including trauma, scoliosis/deformities and neoplasm. Having knowledge of devices currently used in arthroplasty and arthrodesis, their general indications, biomechanics and complications enables radiologists to get accurate image interpretation as well as to render adequate radiology reports.
RESUMEN
Los avances diagnósticos y terapéuticos de las enfermedades de la columna vertebral modificaron sus indicaciones quirúrgicas. La enfermedad degenerativa complicada sin respuesta al tratamiento conservador, es su principal indicación y va en aumento; también incluye traumatismos, escoliosis/ deformidades y neoplasias. Conocer los tipos generales de elementos utilizados en artroplastías y artrodesis, las indicaciones generales, biomecánica y complicaciones, permite a los radiólogos una mejor evaluación de estas imágenes y la elaboración de un informe radiológico adecuado.
