Cervical hollow threaded fixator (CHTF) was designed and applied to stabilize the cervical spine following anterior decompression due to cervical spondylosis or acute cervical disc herniation Methods Medical use titanium alloy with no magnetism was made into a hollow threaded structure with holes on the wall of the fixator Forty two patients with cervical spondylosis and acute cervical disc herniation were stabilized using the CHTF technique after anterior decompression X ray films and CT scans were taken after the operation to observe the stability and fusion rate of the segments Results Patients were allowed to walk one day after the operation and were followed up for 6 to 36 months The operated segments were stable and solid fusion was observed 3-6 months after surgery Conclusions Immediate stability of the operated segments can be obtained using the CHTF technique Patients were easy to manage after the operation and returned to their jobs in a short time The CHTF technique is safe and simpe to performe and eliminates the complications of an autograft It may be an alternative to traditional cervical interbody fusion with bone graft Cervical hollow threaded fixator (CHTF) was designed and applied to stabilize the cervical spine following anterior decompression due to cervical spondylosis or acute cervical disc herniation Methods Medical use titanium alloy with no magnetism was made into a hollow threaded structure with holes on the wall of the fixator Forty two patients with cervical spondylosis and acute cervical disc herniation were stabilized using the CHTF technique after anterior decompression X ray films and CT scans were taken after the operation observe observe the stability and fusion rate of the segments Results Patients were allowed to walk one day after the operation and were followed up for 6 to 36 months The operated segments were stable and solid fusion was observed 3-6 months after surgery Conclusions Immediate stability of the operated segments can be obtained using the CHTF technique Patients were easy to manage after the operation and returned to their jobs in a short time The CHTF technique is safe and simpe to performe and eliminates the complications of an autograft It may be an alternative to traditional cervical interbody fusion with bone graft
