Verify Locking Ring is Closed

9
Verify locking ring is closed
After expansion, check the closure of the locking ring. If there
is a gap of approximately 1 mm (Figure 1), the implant height
is secure. If the slot is larger (Figure 2), expand the implant
slightly to engage the locking ring.
10
Place bone graft
Radiographically verify the position of the implant in relation
to the vertebral bodies in the frontal and sagittal planes
intraoperatively.
Pack bone graft in and around the cage, especially the
anterior zone of the corpectomy site.
