A new surgical interbody device for disc-associated cervical spondylomyelopathy in dogs

In this special episode of our free Neurology for Vets webinar series, sponsored by Fusion Implants, we invite Dr. Colin Driver of Lumbry Park Veterinary Specialists, UK, to discuss his publication on a new surgical device for canine disc-associated cervical spondylomyelopathy (DA-CSM) or wobblers syndrome. The objective of this retrospective study was to describe and evaluate the use of patient-specific end-plate conforming interbody distraction fusion devices with a porous structure in combination with vertebral stabilization, in dogs with DA-CSM. Outcomes were assessed from long-term follow-up and included CT-based determination of vertebral fusion, implant subsidence, and adjacent segment pathology.
