Anatomic Research of the Safe Space Between the Cervical Uncinate Process and the V2 Vertebral Artery
UP and PT could be seen as landmarks in the operations of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. The safe space outside UP is about 4 mm and more care should be taken when operating on the caudal spine. The safe space outside PT is about 10 mm and more care should be taken when operating on the cephalad spine. The safe space for operation from the PT to the ventral side is about 4.5 mm, and more care should be taken when operating on the cephalad side of the cervical spine.
