C4-5 Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion with Bone Graft – No Text

SKU: S11a05004

This exhibit depicts a C4-5 anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with bone graft. The procedure begins with an incision over the anterior neck, exposing C4-5. Distraction pins are placed and a midline C4-5 disc herniation is removed. Bilateral foraminotomies are then performed to decompress the cervical nerve roots. The vertebral endplates are decorticated with a high speed drill, and bone graft is impacted into the disc space. Lastly, the fusion is stabilized with the placement of an anterior cervical plate and screws.
