Overview

Cadaveric biomechanical study demonstrates similar range of motion between integrated cages and anterior plates in cadaveric spines, indicating comparable initial construct stiffness.

Key Points

  • Range of motion showed no significant differences between integrated fixation cage and anterior cervical plate constructs across all directions of motion.
  • Biomechanical testing evaluated six cadaveric functional spine units under two-newton-meter bending moments across three primary anatomical planes.
  • Findings indicate that either instrumentation method provides equivalent initial stability for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion procedures.
