Evaluation of the Efficacy of Titanium Mesh Cages with Posterior C1 Lateral Mass - C2 Pedicle Screw Fixation in Patients with Atlantoaxial Instability

Highlights 1. This retrospective study demonstrates that, in patients with C1 lateral mass and C2 pedicle screw fixation due to atlantoaxial instability, the titanium mesh cage has several advantages compared with autografts including reduced donor-site morbidity, immediate rigid fixation, and succe...

Description
Summary:Highlights 1. This retrospective study demonstrates that, in patients with C1 lateral mass and C2 pedicle screw fixation due to atlantoaxial instability, the titanium mesh cage has several advantages compared with autografts including reduced donor-site morbidity, immediate rigid fixation, and successful bone fusion. 2. 4. This technique is useful to osteoporotic patients and severe RA patients.
