Cervical cage with screw

A cervical cage with screw is a medical device used in cervical spine surgery to provide support and stability to the vertebrae. It is used in cases where the cervical spine is damaged or degenerated, causing pain, instability, or compression of the spinal cord or nerves.

The cervical cage is a small implant made of biocompatible materials such as titanium or a polymer material, designed to be inserted between two adjacent cervical vertebrae. The cage is typically filled with bone graft material to encourage the growth of new bone tissue and promote fusion between the two vertebrae.

The screws used with the cervical cage are used to secure the cage in place and stabilize the spine. They are usually made of titanium and are screwed into the adjacent vertebrae. The screws can be designed in different lengths and diameters to fit the specific needs of the patient.

Cervical cage with screws is often used in cervical fusion surgery to treat conditions such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and the recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s overall health.

What is the material of cervical cage with screw?

The material of cervical cage with screw can vary, but typically, they are made of titanium, titanium alloy, or polyetheretherketone (PEEK). These materials are chosen for their biocompatibility, strength, and ability to integrate with bone. The screws may also be made of titanium or stainless steel.

What are the types of cervical cage with screw?

There are different types of cervical cages with screws, but they generally fall into two categories based on the material they are made of:

1. Metal cages: These are made of materials such as titanium, stainless steel, or cobalt chrome. They come in different sizes and shapes and have varying numbers of screw holes to allow for fixation to the adjacent vertebrae.
2. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages: These cages are made of a high-performance polymer that has similar properties to bone, making it an attractive option for spinal fusion surgeries. They also come in different sizes and shapes and can have one or more screw holes for fixation.

Additionally, cervical cages can be categorized based on their design, such as lordotic (designed to restore the natural curvature of the spine), non-lordotic, or expandable cages that can be adjusted to a larger size after insertion. The choice of cervical cage will depend on the specific needs of the patient and the surgeon’s preferences.

How to use cervical cage with screw?

The use of cervical cage with screw depends on the surgical technique and the patient’s individual needs. However, the general steps for using cervical cage with screw are as follows:

1. Preoperative preparation: The surgeon will perform a preoperative evaluation of the patient, including imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans or MRI. The surgeon will also select the appropriate cervical cage with screw based on the patient’s needs and anatomy.
2. Anesthesia: The patient will receive anesthesia, which may be general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the surgical technique.
3. Exposure: The surgeon will make a small incision in the neck to expose the damaged or diseased vertebrae.
4. Removal of damaged disc: The surgeon will remove the damaged or diseased disc between the vertebrae using specialized instruments.
5. Insertion of cervical cage with screw: The cervical cage with screw is then carefully inserted into the empty disc space to provide support and stability to the spine.
6. Securing the screw: Once the cervical cage with screw is properly positioned, the screw is tightened to hold the cage in place.
7. Closure: The incision is then closed, and the patient is monitored in the recovery room.

It is important to note that the specific steps for using cervical cage with screw may vary depending on the patient’s individual needs and the surgical technique used by the surgeon. It is essential that the procedure is performed by a trained and experienced surgeon.

What are cervical cage with screw used for?

Cervical cages with screws are used in spinal surgery to stabilize and fuse the vertebrae in the neck (cervical spine) following injury or degenerative conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis. The cervical cage serves as a spacer that helps maintain the disc height, restores normal alignment, and provides a structure for bone growth during the fusion process. The screws are used to anchor the cage to the vertebrae and to provide stability to the spine during the healing process. Cervical cages with screws can also be used in revision surgeries to remove failed previous implants or to address complications such as non-union or hardware migration.

who needs cervical cage with screw?

Cervical cages with screws are typically used in patients who have degenerative disc disease or spinal instability in the cervical spine (neck). These patients may have symptoms such as neck pain, arm pain, weakness, or numbness. Cervical cages with screws are used to provide stability and promote fusion of the affected spinal segments. The specific patients who may benefit from cervical cages with screws can be determined by a spine specialist after a thorough evaluation of the patient’s symptoms and imaging studies.
