Effectiveness of Thermal Oxidation in Relation to Anterior Cervical Plates
Ti-6Al-4V anterior cervical plates (ACP) are used in spinal fusion surgeries to fixate cervical vertebrae during graft adhesion. However, documented cases of implant failure and the potential for ACP corrosion raise concerns regarding any degradation of material resulting from extended …

Use of Compliant Interbody Force Sensing Grafts to Compare Load Sharing Properties of Unidirectional and Bidirectional Multilevel Dynamic Translational Anterior Cervical Plates
… is a relatively rare complication following anterior cervical arthrodesis, and is felt to be related to stress shielding. To address this, dynamic anterior cervical plates have emerged to maintain load sharing as an arthodesis matures. Dynamic plates can translate bidirectionally (allow …
