Abstract
This article reports our experience using the AO cervical spine locking plate for anterior cervical spinal fusion. Six cases of this series underwent this surgical treatment for degenerative diseases or traumatic lesions. Fusion, stability and alignment of the cervical spine was achieved in all patients. There was no significant complications. The state of spinal cord and neighboring disk could be assessed with MRI. Although the number of patients was small and the follow-up period was short, this method was considered to be useful.
