  • Publication number: 20020173790
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plate which is used cervical anterior fixation surgery with a peg and screw. The cervical anterior fixation plate with a peg and screw not only prevents plate from being skewed, but defends from sinking a retractor hole which is made during a surgery. Heretofore, the cervical anterior fixation plate has peg and holes. Holes are including two for attaching pegs, and one for monitoring the movement of bone graft, and some for piercing screw. And the peg is composed of the head for attaching a plate and the stick for being inserted into a cervical vertebral body. Heretofore, the cervical anterior fixation plate removes the risk of injuring of nervous system and reduces the staff and the time for surgery.
