Abstract
Modified spinal fusion curettes with two unusual features on the tip are described for anterior cervical procedures. The features are: 1) an elliptical, long sidewise ("brachycephalic") scoop at the tip and 2) a serration equipped on the distal scoop edge. These designs allow reliable manipulation and significant removal of the intervertebral space contents in the deep operative field under the microscope.
