Abstract

The Uppsala Cryoplaning Technique has been used for over 30 years to study normal spinal anatomy and pathologies such as trauma, degenerative conditions, tumors, and metastases (SDC Figure 1, http://links.lww.com/BRS/B105). A heavy-duty sledge cryomicrotome creates authentic anatomical images of slices from the surface of in situ fresh-frozen specimens at submillimeter intervals. This presentation is intended to improve understanding of anatomical structures of the spine among spine surgeons.
