Biomechanical Evaluation of an Anterior Upper Thoracic Plate Fixation System: An In Vitro Human Cadaveric Study.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of the anterior upper thoracic plate fixation system (AUTP).

Methods: Twelve specimens were divided into 2 groups: the AUTP group and the anterior cervical locking plate (ACLP) group. Bone mineral density was assessed in all specimens.
