Abstract:
An evaluation of 16 patients with cervical spondylosis undergoing PCB (a new anterior cervical instrumental system combining an intradiscal cage with an integrated plate,PCB) is presented. Four patients underwent surgery for cervical myelopathy and 12 for cervical radiculopathy.There were 11 males and 5 females.The average age was 46 years (ranging from 31～67 years).The time of follow up was 3～16 months after operation.Fixation at one level was performed in 12 patients,and at two levels in 4. The results revealed that the technique was easy to learn and implement,without intraoperative complications.After surgery no screw backout or device failure was identified.Symptoms improved significantly in 14 patients.Complications in donor site were rare. An external collar support was unnecessary after operation.
