Arthroscopic‐Assisted Uni‐Portal Spinal Surgery Combined With Kirschner Wire Anchoring for Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy: A Technical Note and Preliminary Clinical Results

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This study is the first to describe the use of arthroscopic‐assisted uniportal spinal surgery (AUSS) with Kirschner‐wire anchoring in a cohort of 15 patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR). Postoperatively, patients experienced significant pain relief and marked improvement in cervical function.

Biomechanical Effects of Different Approaches and Titanium Mesh in Combined Anterior Cervical Corpectomy Decompression and Fusion: A Finite Element Study

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Equivalent stress cloud maps of cervical spine flexion movement after four anterior approach methods. (a) VBSP‐S method. (b) AVBSP‐C method. (c) APSP‐S method. (d) APSP‐C method. ACCF biomechanics depend on fixation (AVBSP/APSP) and mesh shape (linear/curved). Adjacent disc sensitivity varies. Fixation choice affects titanium mesh stress.
