From: A new cervical nerve root avulsion model using a posterior extra-vertebral approach in rats
Intraoperative photographs of the extra-vertebral nerve root avulsion procedure. A: The left C6 nerve root exposed after resection of lateral third of the lateral mass. The black arrowhead indicates the left C6 nerve root. The white arrow indicates the rostral side. B: The distal stump of an avulsed C6 nerve root. The white arrowhead indicates the dorsal rootlets and the black arrow indicates the ventral rootlets. C: Resected avulsed spinal nerve root. The black arrow head indicates a dorsal root ganglion. The black double-headed arrow indicates the length of the avulsed ventral rootlets.
