Abstract

Objective To evaluatethe biomechanical properties of the fusion cage combined with Type ⅢTransoralAtlantoaxial Reduction Plate(TARP) system and posterior C1-C2 pedicle screw-rods system. Methods 6 fresh-frozen human cervical spines were used for study in five different groups. Range of motion (ROM) in flexion-extension, left-right bending, and axial rotation was recorded by Motion Analysis, co.6 Eagle.    Results According to the anatomic data, the ring shape of the cage was feasible and the parameters: 3.5 mm height, 6 mm inner diameter, and 12mmouter diameter. The cage was made of Poly Ether EtherKetone(peek).The difference in stiffness between the TARP and C1-C2screw-rods was not statistically significant in the same implant groups. The ROM of cage groups was smaller compared with ilium groups and the difference in flexion-extension was statistically significant. Conclusions TARP system fixation or pedicle screw-rods fixation was significantly stiffer than the iliumgroup in atlantoaxial fusion. Moreover, smaller postoperative complications render it to have a better prospect of clinical application in clinical practice.
