Abstract:
A Cloward-style cage device for anterior cervical fusion and fixation includes a body and a lateral stabilizer. The device uses the historical Cloward-style approach, and, as such, decompresses the interbody disc. The device can be used with a cylindrical drill bit to drill through the interbody disc to remove a portion of the interbody endplates to decompress a remaining portion of the interbody disc. The lateral portions of the endplates are generally preserved. The device has a cylindrical body formed of a mesh-like material, with lateral stabilizers.
