Surgical Challenges in Posterior Cervicothoracic Junction Instrumentation

2021-02-22

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold><italic>Objectives</italic>:</bold> The cervicothoracic junction (CTJ) is a region of the spine submitted to significant mechanical stress. The peculiar anatomical and biomechanical characteristics make posterior surgical stabilization of this area particularly challenging. We present and discuss our surgical series highlighting the specific surgical challenges provided by this re...
