Anterior approach to the subaxial cervical spine in children: a brief review

Eli M Baron et al. Neurosurg Focus. .

Abstract

Although it was originally developed to address degenerative problems, including disc herniations and cervical spondylotic myelopathy in the adult population, the anterior approach to the subaxial spine has proven to be useful for select indications in the pediatric population. The authors review indications for surgery, bone grafting, and instrumentation as they pertain to children.
