Fusion of C4-5-6 was achieved by Trestle cervical plate 30 mm length and insertion of fixed 14 mm to the left C5 body and rescue fixed to the right side. 3 variable screws 4x14 mm were used to C6 and right side of C4. One variable rescue screw was used to the left side of C4. All stages of surgery were performed using C-arm.

Comments

bullet

The patient have 2 major problems in the cervical and lumbar spine. Resolution of the cervical problem take precedence in time.

bullet

Correction of the lumbar problem will be achieved after 4-6 months after resolution of the cervical problem.

bullet

We usually apply traction to the shoulders and the patient has frozen shoulders. Even knowing that and slight traction was applied to have acceptable lateral views of the cervical spine, but this procedure triggered problem to the left shoulder, which needs time to recover.
