Objective Cervical hollow threaded fixator (CHTY)rnwas designed and applied to stabilize tha cervical spine rnfollowing anterior decompression due to cervical rnspondylosis or acute cervical disc hiation.rnMethods Medical use titanium alloy with no rnmagnetism was made into a hollow threaded structure rnwith holes on the wall of the fixator. Forly-two patients rnwith cervical spondylosis and acute cervical disc rnhiation were stabilized using the CHTF technique rnafter anterior decompression. X-ray films and CT scans rnwere taken after the oberation to observe the stability rnann fusion rate of the segments.rnResults Patients were allowed to walk one day after rnthe operation and were followed up for 6 to 36 months.rnThe operated segments were stable and solid fusion rnwas observed 3-6 months after surgery.rnConclusions Immediate stability of the operated rnsegments can be obtained using the CHTF technique.rnPatients ware easy to manage after5 the operation and rnreted to their jobs in a short time.The CHTF rntechnique is safe and simpa to perfoirme and eliminates rnthe complications of an autograft.It may be an rnaltative to traditional cervical interbody fusion with rnbone graft.rn
