[The value of anterior plate fixation without bone graft in simple luxation and various fracture-luxations of the lower cervical spine].
In comparison to posterior fixation by Roy-Camille plates which does not require bone grafting, the authors present 9 cases of anterior plate fixation, also without bone grafting (6 dislocations and 3 fracture-dislocations of the lower cervical spine). The results and indications of this technique are discussed.
