Dental Cement Augmentation Increases Pullout Strength With Comparable Removal Torque for Lateral Mass Screws
Augmentation with dental composite enhanced pullout strength without altering the removal torque of cervical lateral mass screws in human bone. Dental cement augmentation of lateral mass screws during subaxial cervical spine fusion may be a safe and effective method of improving fixation strength without affecting ease of revision.
