We at Lindare Medical offer the supply and distribution of this device to both NHS and Probate Hospitals across the UK.
What is Cervical Corpectomy?
Anterior Cervical Corpectomy (ACCF) is a surgical treatment for patients suffering with progressive, symptomatic Cervical Spinal Stenosis and Myelopathy. The procedure is designed to remove the large, arthritic bone spurs that are compressing the spinal cord and spinal nerves.
In order to successfully remove the spurs, procedure generally involves removing nearly the entire vertebral body and disc, which must then be replaced with a piece of bone graft and fused together to maintain stability.
In almost all instances, a small titanium metal plate/implant is frequently placed, affixed to the vertebrae with small screws, to impart immediate stability to the construct and allow for optimal bone healing and fusion.
