Abstract

This article emphasizes the techniques and instrumentation used in the cervical spine to provide insight into the identification and function of the fixation, grafting, and wiring techniques used for stabilization and fusion. Fracture reduction and stabilization in degenerative disease, the most common reasons for spinal fixation in the cervical spine, are discussed, as are infections, spinal stenosis, and tumors.
