Summary

The Halifax interlaminar clamp is designed for posterior fixation of the cervical column. This technique has the advantages of being fast, safe, light and RM compatible. However the procedure is not useful when the laminae are fractured, not preventing either hyperextension or cervical rotation.

We present our experience with the use of this technique in twelve patients who underwent posterior cervical fixation.
