[The double approach in recent cervical injury. Indications apropos of 15 cases and a review of the literature].
The authors presented 15 cases of recent spinal cervical injuries treated with double approach procedure. Neurological disorders were variable but instability was severe in all cases. In 11 cases with severe neurological disorders the anterior procedure was made immediately, in 4 cases secondary with one or two sequences. In all cases was made discectomy and arthrodesis or removal vertebral body and arthrodesis associated with a posterior stabilization using generally bilateral plates of Roy-Camille. The functional spinal results were excellent with immediate or early mobilisation. In 4 cases with incomplete quadriplegia was observed favorable recovery. In 9 cases with complete quadriplegia two excellent recovery are obtained.
