What Are The Surgical Technique Of The Anterior Cervical Plating System?

Anterior cervical plating is commonly performed to stabilize anterior cervical fusions. Modern plating options are including dynamic plates, with screws that can either toggle within fixed holes or translate within slotted holes.

MJ SURGICAL is one of India’s leading orthopedic Implants & Instruments manufacturing company. It is a wide range of affordable and precise quality of stainless steel, titanium, and peeks implants and instruments. This range and quality of the products have earned us global repute and recognition in orthopedic implants and instruments. Anterior cervical plating system is offering a simple backout prevention mechanism, a high degree of screw angulation, and simplified instrumentation. The primary screw locking mechanism is one of the designed to lock over the bone screw heads. The Locking Screw is locking the bone screws in place and it is allowing for additional visuals that the bone screws are locked.

Features Of The Anterior Cervical Plating System

Anterior cervical plating system features both fixed and variable angle screws to accommodate both rigid and semi-constrained bone screw fixation philosophies<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Spinal Implants Exporter. Variable angle screws are offering up to 20° of screw angulation, and fixed screws are positioned at a fixed trajectory of 11° cephalad/caudal. Both screws are designed with a square head to facilitate engagement with the instrumentation and to reduce the chance of stripping. There are some features of Anterior Cervical Plating System the following:

Screw Types

The variable angle bone screws feature a spherical head is allowing increased angulation against the plate. Screws are offered such as self-tapping, incorporating a cutting flute, and less aggressive screw tip. This is having a cutting flute and a sharp tip.

Screw Sizes

Anterior cervical plate screws are available in 4.0mm and 4.5mm diameters and these are color-coded for easy identification.

Patient Positioning and Exposure

The patient is placed in a supine position with the head turned slightly away from the side of the approach. The left side is preferred, as the more constant course of the recurrent laryngeal nerve on this side is potentially minimizing the risk of its injury. The implantation of the anterior cervical plate is following a discectomy or a corpectomy that are including an appropriate interbody/bone graft insertion. Care should be taken to remove any bony anatomy or osteophytes which would inhibit the anterior cervical plate from sitting flat against the bone.

Implant Selection and Preparation

The correct size of the Anterior cervical plating system is determined by measuring from the center of the cephalad hole to the center of the caudal hole. The Caliper’s feet each contain a pair of positioning holes that correspond to the end holes of the Anterior cervical plating system, which are designed to assist with plate sizing. It holes at the screw insertion points of the appropriate vertebrae, read the measurement, and select the appropriate plate size. Regardless of the plate size is selected that screws must be inserted with the correct amount of screw angulation. It has the vertebral column to confirm size selection.

Screw Hole Preparation

It is one of the following screw hole preparation instruments that are including the Fixed Drill Guide, Variable Drill Guide, or Punch Awl with Sleeve. It is required to place the bone screws in the proper trajectory and help prevent damage to implants and difficulty securing the locking screw in its proper protective position.

Drilling Technique

Anterior Cervical Plating Systemdrill bits are available in 2.5mm diameter and four sizes (10, 12, 14, 16mm), corresponding to the screw lengths, provide a positive stop for accurate drilling depth in combination with any of the guides. A Tap is available in one pre-set depth size 10mm. It is created the screw thread pattern and rotates the Tap until.
