Abstract
It is important to be aware of the indications, surgical procedure selection, and associated complications. This chapter focuses on basic screw placement techniques, emphasizing on safety with each anchor placement. Familiarity with managing surgical accidents is also important. After learning the fundamental methods for placing anchors in posterior cervical fixation, surgeons should proceed stepwise to more complex fixation procedures.
