Abstract
- Although anterior cervical plates provide excellent fixation for the anterior column, the potential risk for injury to the spinal cord or soft tissue has been the reason why they have not gained universal acceptance, new angled locking screw was designed to avoid such surgical complications. We are intending of anterior cervical fusion by means of new angled locking screw Orion Plate and also suggest that Orion Plate System is mandatory for reducing technical demands and late instrumentation failure.
