✓The purpose of this retrospective review was to demonstrate the effectiveness of simple spinous process plate fixation as a salvage operation for failed anterior cervical fusion (ACF). In this technique, the spinous processes are securely sandwiched between a pair of plates with thorns, which are squeezed together by tightening screws that extend through the plates. The authors salvaged six failed ACFs (nonunion of bone graft, plate migration, or bone graft dislodgment) by conducting this fixation without bone grafting, or with an anterior or posterior local bone graft only. Anterior bone union was attained within 6 months in all cases. This technique is easy to perform and probably provides more mechanical strength than does conventional spinous process wiring, resulting in prompt fusion without the need for a new massive bone graft. This technique is a practical option in salvage operations for failed ACF.
