title: [Description of an anterior cervical osteosynthesis plate].
abstract: Various authors have proposed the use of cervical osteosynthesis plates for traumatic and tumoral lesions of the cervical spine. The purpose of the plates was to maintain auto or allogenic grafts in position during biological fusion, or to act as a protection for non-biologic implants by constituting an inert framework. Among those described recently in the literature, the plates developed by Senegas, Orosco and Caspar unable osteosynthesis to occur under maximum safety conditions. The originality of the plate presented lies in its simplicity in use resulting from the oval shape of the intermediary holes this providing maximum flexibility of positioning as a function of the patient's morphology.
