Anterior Cervical Plate Techniques and Their Applications

Surgery is the most direct and effective treatment for cervical spondylosis and cervical traumas. Anterior cervical surgery effectively relieves compression against the anterior spinal cord and restores cervical stability and physiological curvature by means of bone graft fusion plate fixation. With the evolution of treatment concepts and technologies, new surgical equipment and various surgical improvement methods have emerged one after another. This paper summarizes the development of this surgery and the characteristics of various surgical methods and mainly introduces the commonly used anterior cervical plate and technology.
