ABSTRACT
The surgical approach to the lower cervical lesions, especially in traumatic injuries, has been controversial. Some authors advocated posterior fusion for such lesions, while others disagreed and reported good operative results with anterior approach using several types of cervical plates. We analysed 28 patients with lower cervical spine traumatic as well as pathological lesions who underwent 32 anterior surgical interventions with cervical plates during the period of August, 1991 and December, 1993. A successful postoperative vertebral stability was obtained in 5 patients(89.3%) and in 19 patients(87.5%) who had predominent posterior ligamentous injuries. Serious complications such as esophageal perforation and postoperative angulation were seen in 5 patients(17.3%) that were related to the process of reduction. With our clinical experiences, we support anterior fusion with cervical plates particularly for lower cervical lesions even though posterior fusion has ben preferred for traumatic posterior ligamentous complex injuries.
