 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 22 Multi-segmental anterior vertebral body subtotal reconstruction of titanium cage implants experimental study of cervical physiological curvature of Author: Luo Ming, Xiao-Tao Wu, HE Navy [Abstract] Objective: To study multi-segmental anterior vertebral body after subtotal decompression methods on two kinds of titanium cage implants cervical physiological curvature effects. Methods: 7 of adult anti-corrosion body of cervical specimens, preoperative as a blank control group; C5, C6 vertebral body after subtotal resection cut correlation length of titanium cage implants are not pre-bent bone decompression tank group as a non-pre-bent ; and finally will not be pre-bent titanium cage removed, will be pre-bent titanium cage implant samples after the corresponding group as a pre-bent. Three groups were making the standard lateral cervical spine X-ray, measurement of cervical curvature, surgery and surgical point of segmental intervertebral segmental intervertebral heights. Results: The pre-bent titanium cage group of cervical intervertebral segment arc and surgical point of view than those of non-pre-bent titanium cage group and blank control group improved significantly (P amp;lt;0.01); titanium cage group of non-pre-bend section of cervical spine curvature and surgical Section intervertebral angle compared with the blank control group, no significant difference (Pamp;gt; 0.05); surgical intervertebral segment of a high degree of pre-bent titanium cage group and the non-pre-bent titanium cage group showed no significant difference (Pamp;gt; 0.05), But the two groups compared with control group there was significant difference (P amp;lt;0.05). Conclusion: Multi-segment anterior cervical vertebral body after subtotal decompression cage pre-bent titanium implant can be a good recovery of cervical physiological curvature.
