An anterior approach to the cervicothoracic junction of the spine (Modified osteotomy of manubrium sterni and clavicle)
Abstract
Standard anterior approaches to the cervicothoracic junction of the spine provide inadequate exposure. For this reason, various techniques of exposure are developed. One of these is Sundaresan's technique in which a part of manubrium sterni and medial clavicle are resected. It provides good vision and working area at the lesion level but causes a significant bony defect. We modified Sundaresan's technique and did not damage the sternoclavicular joint. After decompression and fusion was completed, the osteotomised segment was replanted. We performed this technique in two cases of Pott's disease and had no problem of union at the osteotomy sites.
