What you will cover in this lecture
This spine surgery lecture covers the specific surgical treatment of C3-C7 cervical spine. it focuses on the principles of surgical treatment, and its application to the challenge presented by the clinical scenario of C3-C7 cervical spine trauma. Both surgical approaches are covered, with an explanation of the benefits which can be obtained from each. This is followed by a consideration of the stability which can be achieved by anterior constructs and posterior constructs, with reference to clinical literature and reports from biomechanical models. Finally, a scheme is suggested, based on the injury pattern, to assist in the decision making.
