Abstract
The authors successfully used a newly-devised metal prosthesis anchored by acrylic cement in four patients with cervical spinal tumor. Two of these patients suffered incomplete quadriplegia due to epidural infiltration of the tumor and required laminectomy. Severe neck pain was relieved in all cases, and neurological improvement was maintained until death.Keywords
