Cervical Spine Surgery Vertebrectomy Corpectomy with bone + plate orthopaedic surgery 3D movies

Cervical Spine Surgery Vertebrectomy Corpectomy with bone + plate orthopaedic surgery 3D movies. Illustrates the surgical technique for performing cervical corpectomy, also known as a cervical vertebrectomy. This procedure is used to remove one or more vertebral bodies and the adjacent intervertebral discs that are causing uncontrollable pain or are compressing the adjacent spinal cord or nerve roots. A bony strut is used to replace the excised tissue and maintain correct alignment. An anterior plate is used to ensure stability while fusion occurs. There are many different techniques to achieve the same end result, a pain-free, stable, anatomically positioned bony fusion. Also shown are the removal of the pathological vertebral body and discs, the bone strut insertion, the anterior plate fixation, bone graft chip, x-ray position checks and finally wound closure.
