There is an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 spinal cord injuries every year and approximately 39% of these injuries are cause by motor vehicle accidents4.

If the cancer metastasizes or spreads in the spine, the surgeon may opt to remove the affected vertebral bodies and replace them with an Expandable Corpectomy Device.*(http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1264191-overview)
