Can I get some help with this one?
C4, C5 AND C6 corpectomy and fusion was planned but this was not done to due abscess from that area. The osteophyte at C5-C6, C6-C7 and was replaced by granulation tissue which was curetted. The loose osteophyte was rongeured out. Pus continued on to the epidural space and this was drained. I dirlled the endplate of the C5-C6, C6-C7 until I saw fresh bleeding bone. Epidural space was cleared of all the granulation with curettes.
That is the bulk of it.
