To discuss the character and application of internal fixation with cervical lateral mass plate fixation in posterior approach of cervical spine operation. Twelve patients with cervical fracture dislocation treated with posterior cervical lateral mass fixation and bony fusion were selected. The patients received spinal decompression or reduction and decompression according to different diseases. A suitable 3.5 mm bi-cortical screw was inserted using Magerl technique. The results showed that solid bony fusion could be obtained at 3-5 months after the surgery, and the intervertebra heights as well as physiological curves were kept well without screw loosening or breaking. Neurological function was recovered to different extent. Cervical lateral mass plate fixation has the advantages of easily operation technique, wide indications, strong stability and short segment fixation.
