Abstract
- During posterior cervical stabilization, lateral mass fixation with plate-screw has been found to be a simple and safe application, without the dependence on intact posterior element and immediate rigid fixation. We applied the AME Haid Universal Bone Plate System to six cases of traumatic lower cervical instability with favorable results. Drilling direction was 30 degrees lateral and 15-20 degrees rostral to the vertebral plane, and we have not noticed any complication. Screw loosening, the pitfall of the procedure is described.
