The Use of a Memory-Shape Staple in Cervical Anterior Fusion (about 100 Human Implantations)

  • Chapter
Shape Memory Implants

Abstract

This study will present one application of nickel-titanium shape-memory staple in spinal surgery. Clinical and radiological results based on 100 human anterior cervical spine implantations will be reported. These cervical fusions have been performed as described by Smith and Robinson [25], and were stabilized with a NiTi shape memory staple producing a dynamic compression effect on the bone graft.
