Progress in the application of posterior cervical lateral mass screw fixation / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Posterior cervical lateral mass screw fixation refers to the surgical procedure for treating cervical vertebrae disease by inserting a needle into the lateral side of the cervical vertebra and achieving internal fixation to the cervical vertebrae by screws,connecting plates and the like.In view of the high degree of cervical vertebra activity and complex structure,adjacent to the cervical spinal cord and multiple nerves and blood vessels,the cervical spine is difficult to place and has a certain degree of risk,and the posterior cervical lateral mass screw fixation can effectively reduce the incidence of injuring the nerves and vessels.In recent years,the clinical research on the posterior approach of the cervical spine is more and more abundant.In order to facilitate the clinician to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure and the development direction of the new technology of dynamic tracking.Now,a review of the application of this technique in recent years is reviewed.
