The use of cement forms to control methylmethacrylate in immediate posterior stabilization of the cervical spine. A technical note.
Under certain clinical conditions, posterior stabilization of the cervical spine, supplemented with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), is an accepted method of achieving stability. A technique is described in which "cement forms" are used to limit the spread of PMMA and to allow bone graft placement in the lateral paraspinous gutters.
