Intraoperative evaluation of implants in anterior cervical spine surgery by three-dimensional fluoroscopy.

Abstract

Intraoperative three-dimensional fluoroscopy is a valuable tool for the intraoperative imaging of bony decompression and implants in anterior cervical spine surgery. The technique is safe and reliable and should help us to avoid incomplete decompression or misplacement of implants and therefore improve long-term functional outcomes in the future.
