✓ In this study the authors detail their experience with posterior tension-band wiring for stabilization of the subaxial cervical spine. Fifty-five patients underwent fusion for trauma (41 patients), degenerative disease (13 patients), and tumor (one patient). The fusion rate was 96% (50 of 52 patients) and postoperative immobilization was accomplished by means of a Philadelphia collar in the majority of cases. Tension-band wiring provides a stable construct that is simple to perform, requires fusion of a minium number of motion segments, and allows early mobilization with only a hard collar needed for support. The details of the technique, which has been modified from preliminary descriptions, are discussed.
