Innovative Technique of Anchoring the Upper End of the Cervical Plate With C1 Anterior Arch Screw for Upper Cervical Tumors
Radical resection of tumors involving the upper cervical spine requiring C2 corpectomy is challenging. En bloc resection is not always feasible. Neurosurgeons can consider using the anterior arch as an anchor point. The use of neuronavigation facilitates the precise placement of the C1 arch screws.
