Male C5-7 Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion with Right Iliac Crest Graft – No Text

SKU: S11b044

This exhibit depicts a C5-7 anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion with iliac crest autograft. The procedure begins with an incision over the anterior neck, exposing C5-7. Distraction pins are then placed, and midline C5-7 disc herniations are removed. A total corpectomy of C6 is completed, and the vertebral endplates are decorticated with a high speed drill. Attention is then shifted to the right hip, where an incision is made over the iliac crest. A tricortical iliac strut graft is harvested, impacted into the vertebral column, and stabilized with the placement of an anterior cervical plate.
