Study Design: A narrative literature review. Objectives: To review the surgical techniques of posterior screw fixation in the subaxial cervical spine. Methods: A broad literature review on the most common screw fixation techniques including lateral mass, pedicle, intralaminar and transfacet screws was performed on PubMed. The techniques and surgical nuances are summarized. Results: The following techniques were described in detail and presented with illustrative figures, including (1) lateral mass screw insertion: by Roy-Camille, Louis, Magerl, Anderson, An, Riew techniques and also a modified technique for C7 lateral mass fixation; (2) pedicle screw fixation technique as described by Abumi and also a freehand technique description; (3) intralaminar screw fixation; and finally, (4) transfacet screw fixation, as described by Takayasu, DalCanto, Klekamp, and Miyanji. Conclusions: Many different techniques of subaxial screw fixation were described and are available. To know the nuances of each one allows surgeons to choose the best option for each patient, improving the success of the fixation and decrease complications.

ObjectAlthough lateral mass screw fixation for the cervical spine is a safe technique, lateral mass fracture during screw fixation is occasionally encountered intraoperatively. This event is regarded as a minor complication; however, it poses difficulties in management that may affect fixation stability and clinical outcome. The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence and etiology of lateral mass fractures during cervical lateral mass screw fixation.MethodsA retrospective clinical review of patient records was performed in 117 consecutive patients (mean age 57 years, range 15–86 years) who underwent lateral mass screw fixation using a modified Magerl method from 1997 to 2010 at a single institution. A total of 555 lateral masses were included in this study. The outer diameters of the screws were 3.5 or 4.0 mm. In the retrospective clinical analysis, the incidence of intraoperative lateral mass fractures was reviewed. Potential risk factors for this complication were assessed using multivariate analysis.ResultsThe incidence of lateral mass fractures during cervical lateral mass screw fixation was 4.7% (26 lateral masses) among all cases. Among the disorders, the incidence was highest in patients with destructive spondyloarthropathy (DSA) (18.8%, 12 lateral masses). There was no significant difference with respect to lateral mass fracture between the use of 4.0-mm screws (5.6%) and 3.5-mm screws (3.6%). Independent risk factors identified by logistic regression were DSA (OR 7.89, p < 0.001) and screw insertion in the C-6 lateral masses (OR 2.80, p = 0.018).ConclusionsThe overall incidence of lateral mass fracture during cervical lateral mass screw fixation was 4.7%. Destructive spondyloarthropathy as an underlying cause of morbidity and screw placement in the C-6 lateral mass were identified as independent risk factors. Use of a 4.0-mm screw in patients with DSA may be a principal risk factor for this complication.

Object Standard lateral mass plate and screw systems are of limited use in patients with abnormal cervical anatomy and do not easily allow for extension to either the occipit or the thoracic spine. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the safety, surgical efficacy, and advantages of a new cervical polyaxial screw and rod system for posterior occipitocervicothoracic arthrodesis. Methods The authors reviewed a multicenter series of patients who underwent surgery in which they used a new posterior cervical polyaxial screw and rod system. The system was implanted in 32 (20 women and 12 men) adult patients (mean age 56.9 years, range 23–84 years). Twentythree of the patients were treated for spondylostenosis; four for cervical fracture/dislocations; four for kyphosis; and one patient was treated for pseudarthrosis that developed after prior surgery. The system was successfully implanted in all patients despite the presence of anatomical lateral mass anomalies in the majority of cases. The mean number of levels fused was 3.9 (range one–eight levels). This dynamic system allowed for screw placement into the occiput, C-1 lateral masses, C-2 pars, C3–7 lateral masses, and low cervical as well as upper thoracic pedicles. Selective application of compressive or distractive forces was possible in adjacent segments. Surgery-related complications included one dural tear and one malpositioned screw. There were two cases of wound infection. Conclusions Unlike standard lateral mass plate and screw systems, the new cervical polyaxial screw and rod system easily accommodates severe degenerative cervical spondylosis and curvatures. This instrumentation system allows for polyaxial screw placement with subsequent multiplanar rod contouring and offset attachment. The authors have used this system successfully, and without significant complications, to achieve posterior cervical arthrodesis.

Objective Cervical spine can be stabilized by different techniques. One of the common techniques used is the lateral mass screws (LMSs), which can be inserted either by freehand techniques or three-dimensional (3D) navigation system. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the difference between the 3D navigation system and the freehand technique for cervical spine LMS placement in terms of complications. Including intraoperative complications (vertebral artery injury [VAI], nerve root injury [NRI], spinal cord injury [SCI], lateral mass fracture [LMF]) and postoperative complications (screw malposition, screw complications). Methods Patients who had LMS fixation for their subaxial cervical spine from January 2014 to April 2015 at the Ottawa Hospital were included. A total of 284 subaxial cervical LMS were inserted in 40 consecutive patients. Surgical indications were cervical myelopathy and fractures. The screws' size was 3.5 mm in diameter and 8 to 16 mm in length. During the insertion of the subaxial cervical LMS, the 3D navigation system was used for 20 patients, and the freehand technique was used for the remaining 20 patients. We reviewed the charts, X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and follow-up notes for all the patients pre- and postoperatively. Results Postoperative assessment showed that the incidence of VAI, SCI, and NRI were the same between the two groups. The CT scan analysis showed that the screw breakage, screw pull-outs, and screw loosening were the same between the two groups. LMF was less in the 3D navigation group but statistically insignificant. Screw malposition was less in the 3D navigation group compared with the freehand group and was statistically significant. The hospital stay, operative time, and blood loss were statistically insignificant between the two groups. Conclusions The use of CT-based navigation in LMS insertion decreased the rate of screw malpositions as compared with the freehand technique. Further investigations and trials will determine the effect of malpositions on the c-spine biomechanics. The use of navigation in LMS insertion did not show a significant difference in VAI, LMF, SCI, or NRI as compared with the freehand technique.

This study involves a comparative biomechanics of facet joints (FJ) versus lateral mass (LM) screw insertion technique in the human cadaveric lower cervical spine (C3, C4, C5 and C6). The objective of this study is to understand the promising usage of the facet joint insertion technique and to determine the pullout strength of FJ insertion technique for posterior cervical fixation system. A total of 52 disarticulated human vertebrae (C3–C6) were used in this study. DEXA scan was carried out on all specimens before testing. Cortical screws of 3.5 mm and 4.0 mm were used for both FJ and LM techniques, which were subjected to uniaxial load. From the study made so far, the facet joint technique performed well based on the pullout strength values obtained. Having addressed the main concern on screw perforation of lateral mass technique, this facet joint technique not only demonstrated a significantly higher pullout resistance but it is also a relatively low risk surgical procedure.

Abstract OBJECTIVE We review our experience and technique for C1 lateral mass screw fixation. We compare the results of 3 different constructs incorporating C1 lateral mass screws: occipitocervical (OC) constructs, C1–C2 constructs, and C1 to mid/low cervical constructs. METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review of 42 consecutive patients who underwent C1 lateral mass fixation by 2 of the authors (PVM and DC). The patient population consisted of 24 men and 18 women with a mean age of 64 years. Twenty-two patients had C1–C2 constructs. Twelve patients had constructs that started at C1 and extended to the mid/low cervical spine (one extended to T1). Eight patients underwent OC fusions incorporating C1 screws (2 of which were OC-thoracic constructs). All constructs were combined either with a C2 pars screw (38 patients), C2 translaminar screw (1 patient), or C3 lateral mass screw (3 patients). No C2 pedicle screws were used. Fusion was assessed using flexion-extension x-rays in all patients and computed tomographic scans in selected cases. Clinical outcomes were assessed with preoperative and postoperative visual analog scale neck pain scores and Nurick grading. The nuances of the surgical technique are reviewed, and a surgical video is included. RESULTS Two patients (5%) were lost to follow-up. The mean follow-up for the remaining patients was 2 years. During the follow-up period, there were 4 deaths (none of which were related to the surgery). For patients with follow-up, the visual analog scale neck pain score improved a mean of 3 points after surgery (P < .001). For patients with myelopathy, the Nurick score improved by a mean of 1 grade after surgery (P < .001). The postoperative complication rate was 12%. The complication rate was 38% in OC constructs, 17% in C1 to mid/low cervical constructs, and 0% for C1–C2 construct cases. Patients with OC constructs had the statistically highest rate of complications (P < .001). Patients with C1 to mid/low cervical constructs had more complications than those with C1–C2 constructs (P < .001). Of the 42 cases, there were 3 pseudoarthroses (1 in an OC case, 1 in a C1 to midcervical construct, and 1 in a C1–C2 construct). OC constructs had the highest risk of pseudoarthrosis (13%) (P < .001). CONCLUSION Patients treated with C1 lateral mass fixation constructs have a high fusion rate, reduced neck pain, and improved neurologic function. Constructs using C1 lateral mass screws do not need to incorporate C2 pedicle screws. Constructs incorporating C1 lateral mass screws are effective when combined with C2 pars screws, C2 translaminar screws, and C3 lateral mass screws. Constructs using C1 screws are associated with a higher complication rate and a higher pseudoarthrosis rate if extended cranially to the occiput or if extended caudally below C2.

Object Lateral mass screws are routinely placed throughout the subaxial cervical spine in adults, but there are few clinical or radiographic studies regarding lateral mass fixation in children. The morphology of pediatric cervical lateral masses may be associated with greater difficulty in obtaining adequate purchase. The authors examined the lateral masses of the subaxial cervical spine in pediatric patients to define morphometric differences compared with adults, establish guidelines for lateral mass instrumentation in children, and define potential limitations of this technique in the pediatric age group. Methods Morphometric analysis was performed on CT of the lateral masses of C3–7 in 56 boys and 14 girls. Measurements were obtained in the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes. Results For most levels and measurements, results in boys and girls did not differ significantly; the few values that were significantly different are not likely to be clinically significant. On the other hand, younger (< 8 years of age) and older children (≥ 8 years of age) differed significantly at every level and measurement except for facet angularity. Sagittal diagonal, a measurement that closely estimates screw length, was found to increase at each successive caudal level from C-3 to C-7, similar to the adult population. A screw acceptance analysis found that all patients ≥ 4 years of age could accept at least a 3.5 × 10 mm lateral mass screw. Conclusions Lateral mass screw fixation is feasible in the pediatric cervical spine, particularly in children age 4 years old or older. Lateral mass screw fixation is feasible even at the C-7 level, where pedicle screw placement has been advised in lieu of lateral mass screws because of the small size and steep trajectory of the C-7 lateral mass. Nonetheless, all pediatric patients should undergo high-resolution, thin-slice CT preoperatively to assess suitability for lateral mass screw fixation.

Orientador: Hamilton da Rosa PereiraResumo: Este trabalho experimental propõe uma nova e eficiente técnica para in-trodução de parafuso no processo articular cervical, com menor risco. Utilizando um novo dispositivo e determinando o comprimento efetivo médio do parafuso. Foram usadas cinco colunas cervicais de esqueleto humano de C3 a C7, num total de 25 vértebras e 50 perfurações. Foram selecionados dois grupos de vértebras: um de C3 a C6, outro de C7. No primeiro grupo, o ponto inicial do parafuso situou-se a 2 mm. mediais e caudais do ponto central do processo articular, dirigindo-se a ponta do parafuso a 21,5º no sentido cranial. No outro grupo, o ponto inicial foi localizado a 2mm. da linha média vertical, logo abaixo da superfície articular superior, dirigindo-se a ponta do parafuso a 16,5º no sentido caudal. Em ambos os grupos, o parafuso foi desviado lateralmente a 42,5º. Concluímos que a nossa técnica é eficiente e segura porque: 1) utiliza um dispositivo que mede o ângulo de introdução do parafuso, bloqueando-o após a ultrapassagem da cortical anterior, introduzindo somente o comprimento ideal para cada processo articular, diminuindo o risco de lesão; 2) não causa lesão da artéria vertebral e da raiz nervosa; 3) apresenta baixa incidência de violação da superfície articular, 7,5% nas vértebras C3 a C6 e 0% nas C7; 4) apresenta um comprimento efetivo do parafuso de 10,7 mm. para ambos os grupos vertebrais oferecendo boa fixação óssea e boa margem de segurança, em relação às estruturas anatômicas importantes.
Abstract: This experimental paper presents a new and efficient technique to insert a screw in the cervical lateral mass with the less risk of damaging the vertebral artery, the nerve root and the articular facet. This procedure is carried out by using a new device which measures the screw insertion angle and lock the screw after it goes through the posterior cortical area. This paper also aims at determining the effective screw length to be used in this technique. Five human lower cervical spines from C3 to C7 - were used. Two holes were made in both sides of these 25 vertebrae. Therefore 50 holes were made. Two vertebrae groups were selected: C3-C6 and C7. In the C3-C6 group the start point of the screw was placed in a medial and caudal position 2mm. in relation to the central point of the articular prossece; the screw tip was directed to the half of the lateral vertebral line at a 21,5° angle in the cranial direction; for the C7 vertebrae the screw initial point was placed at a 2 mm. medial position in the vertical mean line just below the upper articular level; the screw tip was directed to the half of the lateral vertebral line at a 16,5° angle in the caudal direction. In both vertebral groups the screw was laterally deviated at a 42,5° angle. The conclusion is that this new technique is efficient and safe because: 1) it utilizes a new device to guide and measure the screw insertion and lock the screw after it goes through the posterior cortical area; the in-sertion is thus adequate for each specific lateral mass and decreases the risk of damage to the vertebral artery and to the nerve root; in fact it did not occur in both vertebral groups; 2) it presents a low rate of articular facet violation; 3) it presents a 10,7 mm. screw length which is effective for both vertebral groups; 4) therefore there occurs a good bone fixation and the important anatomic structures are preserved.

Current methods of atlantoaxial stabilization rely on screw fixation. Screw placement may be transarticular, or C1 lateral mass screws in combination with pedicle or pars screws at C2. These techniques can put the vertebral artery at risk. There is also dissection around the ganglion of the second cervical nerve root, which can lead to significant bleeding or postoperative pain.

Cervical corpectomy is a procedure most commonly indicated for resection of metastatic disease in the vertebra, access to the spinal cord tumors and inflammatory or infectious lesions.[1] Posterior occipitocervical instrumentation with rods and lateral mass screws has been shown to be a rigid fixation technique in this region [2] and, small diameter rods are thought to be lighter weight, less prominent and less likely to be associated with screw pullout.[3] Still, deformity imposed upon small diameter rods, by the weight of the head, the cervical spine, and spinal ligaments has yet to be quantified. Anecdotal observations show that the rods lose their lordotic curvature and patients fuse in a kyphotic curve making daily living more difficult. The goal of this study is to examine the mechanical behavior of these rods in situ under physiologic loading conditions reflective of activies of daily living.
