Anterior Cervical Plate

Kangli Orthopaedics manufactures this pure titanium anterior cervical plate for plate-and-screw fixation at the front of the cervical spine. Its thin, gently curved body follows the anterior contour, while open central windows expose the area beneath the plate and recessed drive interfaces provide defined access to the threaded fasteners.

Anterior Cervical Fixation Design and Contour

The elongated plate body features waisted sides, rounded ends, and a gradual curve for alignment with the anterior cervical region. Its reduced perimeter leaves clearance around the plate edge when the construct is seated, rather than creating a broad continuous border.

Windowed Body for Hardware Visualization

Large, rounded openings interrupt the central body and expose the area beneath the plate and around the fastener positions. This open layout provides a visual path to the central fixation area while reducing the amount of solid material covering it.

Recessed Hexagonal Drive Interfaces

Hexagonal recesses are integrated into the upper surface at the fixation points. These sockets provide a defined interface for the driver while keeping the drive areas within the plate contour during threaded fastener placement.

Hole Patterns for Different Cervical Spans

Multiple hole configurations are available to accommodate selected cervical spans without changing the overall plate concept. Fasteners are positioned along the longitudinal sections of the plate, distributing the fixation points across the seated construct.

Use in Anterior Cervical Reconstruction

Typical configuration contexts include:

• anterior cervical plate fixation
• fixation across a cervical segment
• placement of threaded fasteners through an anterior plate
• anterior cervical reconstruction using plate-and-screw fixation

For a construct that combines an anterior plate with a separate interbody device, this plate may be specified alongside the Cervical Zero-Profile Interbody Fusion Cage.
