Outcomes after cervical vertebral interbody fusion using an interbody fusion device and polyaxial pedicle screw and rod construct in 10 horses (2015‐2019)

Abstract

This technique resulted in ≥1 grade gait improvement in 6/10 cases operated and 6/8 cases for which ≥1-year follow-up was available, similar to other methods. Fatal complications related to implant placement did not occur. This technique may represent a safer alternative to current techniques of ventral interbody fusion with similar outcomes.
