Short Monocortical Screws at C4-C6 Lateral Masses as Novel Mid-cervical Anchor in Cervical Laminoplasty with Instrumented Fusion: Surgical Outcomes Compared with C5 Pedicle Screws as Mid-cervical Anchor

Short Monocortical Screws at C4-C6 Lateral Masses as Novel Mid-cervical Anchor in Cervical Laminoplasty with Instrumented Fusion: Surgical Outcomes Compared with C5 Pedicle Screws as Mid-cervical Anchor

Introduction: This retrospective study compared rates of bony fusion and screw loosening after multilevel posterior decompression and fusion (PDF) with short monocortical screws (SMS) as a novel mid-cervical anchor versus C5 pedicle screws (PS) as a mid-cervical anchor. Methods: We analyzed 15 conse...
