Posterior [[cervical wiring]] historically has played a major role in stabilizing the [[cervical spine]]. Hadra first introduced spinous process wiring in [[Pott’s disease]] in [[1891]]
((Wiring the spinous processes in Pott’s disease. Hadra BE. Trans Am Orthop Assoc. 1891;14:206–210.)),
and Rogers described in detail techniques for [[interspinous wiring]] of the [[cervical spine]] in [[1942]]
((Treatment of fracture-dislocation of the cervical spine. Rogers WA. J Bone Joint Surg Am. 1942;24:245–258.))
