Tratamento cirúrgico das lesoes traumáticas do segmento médio-inferior da coluna cervical

The most frequently injury level of cervical spine is C2, followed by C5 and C6. Injuries were most commonly sustained in the third decade of life, with a decreasing incidence in the advanced age. As part of these lesions is located in the elements of the anterior column, according to Deniss definition and, taking in consideration the biomechanics studies of the segment medium¾inferior of the cervical spine, as well as the mechanisms that cause their lesions, this study was elaborated, with the intention of presenting the techniques of anterior cervical fusion, with bony graft and plates of Caspar, Morscher (CSLP) and ORION™. The advantages and disadvantages of each type of anterior fixation are presented accordind to the literature review. The improvement in the material relate to plates and screws fixation techniques are illustrated.The most frequently injury level of cervical spine is C2, followed by C5 and C6.

Interpretação da velocidade de hemossedimentação nas cirurgias assépticas da coluna vertebral

Foram estudados 25 pacientes submetidos a discectomia asseptica, cervical ou lombar, analisando-se os valores da velocidade de hemossedimentacao (VHS) nos periodos pre e pos-operatorio. Os resultados obtidos foram analisados por meio dos testes do qui-quadrado e o t de Student, sendo considerados estatisticamente significativos quando p
