Additional information: x-ray image review: x-ray review: "pre-op and post-op x-rays from c3-7 anterior cervical discectomy and fusion revised to c3-t1 fusion with c6-7 corpectomy and posterior instrumentation show fracture of the translational plate.This can happen with sudden/exaggerated cervical extension despite the presence of posterior instrumentation.All hardware appears appropriately placed.Significant deformity correction has occurred possible adding some "pre-stress" to the construct." if information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
