Resumo
Este trabalho experimental propõe uma nova e eficiente técnica para in-trodução de parafuso no processo articular cervical, com menor risco. Utilizando um novo dispositivo e determinando o comprimento efetivo médio do parafuso. Foram usadas cinco colunas cervicais de esqueleto humano de C3 a C7, num total de 25 vértebras e 50 perfurações. Foram selecionados dois grupos de vértebras: um de C3 a C6, outro de C7. No primeiro grupo, o ponto inicial do parafuso situou-se a 2 mm. mediais e caudais do ponto central do processo articular, dirigindo-se a ponta do parafuso a 21,5º no sentido cranial. No outro grupo, o ponto inicial foi localizado a 2mm. da linha média vertical, logo abaixo da superfície articular superior, dirigindo-se a ponta do parafuso a 16,5º no sentido caudal. Em ambos os grupos, o parafuso foi desviado lateralmente a 42,5º. Concluímos que a nossa técnica é eficiente e segura porque: 1) utiliza um dispositivo que mede o ângulo de introdução do parafuso, bloqueando-o após a ultrapassagem da cortical anterior, introduzindo somente o comprimento ideal para cada processo articular, diminuindo o risco de lesão; 2) não causa lesão da artéria vertebral e da raiz nervosa; 3) apresenta baixa incidência de violação da superfície articular, 7,5% nas vértebras C3 a C6 e 0% nas C7; 4) apresenta um comprimento efetivo do parafuso de 10,7 mm. para ambos os grupos vertebrais oferecendo boa fixação óssea e boa margem de segurança, em relação às estruturas anatômicas importantes.
This experimental paper presents a new and efficient technique to insert a screw in the cervical lateral mass with the less risk of damaging the vertebral artery, the nerve root and the articular facet. This procedure is carried out by using a new device which measures the screw insertion angle and lock the screw after it goes through the posterior cortical area. This paper also aims at determining the effective screw length to be used in this technique. Five human lower cervical spines from C3 to C7 - were used. Two holes were made in both sides of these 25 vertebrae. Therefore 50 holes were made. Two vertebrae groups were selected: C3-C6 and C7. In the C3-C6 group the start point of the screw was placed in a medial and caudal position 2mm. in relation to the central point of the articular prossece; the screw tip was directed to the half of the lateral vertebral line at a 21,5° angle in the cranial direction; for the C7 vertebrae the screw initial point was placed at a 2 mm. medial position in the vertical mean line just below the upper articular level; the screw tip was directed to the half of the lateral vertebral line at a 16,5° angle in the caudal direction. In both vertebral groups the screw was laterally deviated at a 42,5° angle. The conclusion is that this new technique is efficient and safe because: 1) it utilizes a new device to guide and measure the screw insertion and lock the screw after it goes through the posterior cortical area; the in-sertion is thus adequate for each specific lateral mass and decreases the risk of damage to the vertebral artery and to the nerve root; in fact it did not occur in both vertebral groups; 2) it presents a low rate of articular facet violation; 3) it presents a 10,7 mm. screw length which is effective for both vertebral groups; 4) therefore there occurs a good bone fixation and the important anatomic structures are preserved.
