Should we recommend occipital plate fixation using bicortical screws or inverted occipital hooks to optimize occipito-cervical junction fusion? A biomechanical study combining an experimental and analytical approach.

Germaneau, Arnaud Vendeuvre, Tanguy Delmotte, Alexandre

BackgroundOccipito-cervical fusion can be necessary in case of cranio-cervical junction instability. Proximal stabilisation is usually ensured by bi-cortical occipital screws implanted through one median or two lateral occipital plate(s). Bone thickness variability as well as the proximity of vasculo-nervous elements can induce substantial...
