ZERO-P IMPLANTS IN CERVICAL SPINE PROCEDURES-CASE REPORT
Abstract
Supplementing anterior cervical disectomy and fusion (ACDF) with plates enhances stabilization, increases fusion and reduces failure rates. Zero-P implant for stand-alone anterior interbody fusion procedures of the cervical spine was recently developed to avoid complications associated with anterior cervical plates
Key words: ACDF, HDI, pressure, neck pain, parestesis.
