TI  - Anterior locking screw plate fixation for cervical spondylosis.
PG  - 27-30
AB  - Thirty consecutive patients with significant cervical spondylotic myelopathy or 
      radiculopathy were treated with anterior decompression, autologous iliac crest 
      graft, and titanium hollow screw plate (THSP). Eight patients had 1 previous 
      surgery, and 1 patient had 2 previous surgeries. Satisfactory fixation was 
      achieved intraoperatively in all instances. At time of final follow-up, graft 
      incorporation was noted in all instances. There were 4 complications: 2 
      superficial infections, treated nonoperatively; 1 case of dysphagia, which 
      resolved; and 1 case of spasmodic torticollis, which resolved. The THSP system 
      allowed immediate stabilization of the involved cervical levels and facilitated 
      reliable fusion.
