ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the results of the Secuplate anterior cervical osteosynthesis plate (SACOP) for the treatment of patient with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Methods Twenty six patients with CSM underwent anterior decompression fusion and internal fixation with SACOP were reviewed. All patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months (mean, 8 months). Results Neurological deficits improved in 23 of 26 patients after operation. A stable bony fusion according to radiological criteria was achieved in all cases 6 months postoperatively. There was no implants breakage and loosening. Conclusion Intervertebral fusion and internal fixation with SACOP after anterior decompression can offer immediate stability, prevent graft dislodgement, avoid cast immobilization and give a high rate of successful bony fusion for the patient with CSM.
