BACKGROUND CONTEXT Hybrid surgery (HS), which involves both anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and cervical disc replacement (ACDR), is increasingly used to treat multilevel cervical disc degenerative disease, yielding satisfactory clinical outcomes. Early fusion is critical after anterior ...
To study clinical and radiographic outcome of patients who underwent the Cervios cage-assisted anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) without plate fixation in single to two-level degenerative disc disease (DDD).Sixty-seven patients suffering from cervical DDD with various symptoms such as rad...
Second anterior cervical fusion had been reported to achieve favorable clinical results in patients who underwent one-level ACDF for symptomatic ASD [7, 10, 11]. Furthermore, radicular symptoms could be better relieved by decompressing the nerve root in anterior surgery. However, patients with a ...
examined 67 2-level CDA patients, 49 2-level ACDF patients, and 138 single-level CDA patients. Show abstract Anterior cervical spine surgery and dysphagia 2022, Current Opinion in Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery Spinal intervertebral disc regeneration versus repair: cost, outcomes and ...
Two-level ACDF either by a stand-alone zero-profile spacer or cage+plate is safe. Using a zero-profile cage dysphagia was infrequent at 24 months, but the value did not reach statistical significance in comparison with the cage+plate. Hence, this randomized trial was not able to prove the...
Objectives This finite element (FE) study aimed to investigate the biomechanical characteristics of HS to treat two-level discontinuous ASD in ACDF RS. Methods A C2-T1 intact FE model was established and modified to a primary C5/6 ACDF model and five RS models. These RS models' se...
ACDF is a common ambulatory cervical spine surgery, however, there are certain patients who are unexpectedly converted from an outpatient procedure to inpatient admission and little is known about the risk factors for conversion. Patients who underwent one-level or two-level ACDF in an ambulatory ...
Comparing C4-6 ACDF with reduced lordosis group and C4-6 ACDF with normal lordosis group, a stress decreasing trend was observed along with the reduced lordosis angle but had no significant difference.ConclusionAfter 2 level ACDF on cervical spine specimens, ROM of adjacent segments and stress on...
2021, International Journal of Surgery Case Reports Citation Excerpt : The revision surgery rate of ASD ranges from 2.1%–9.13% for single level ACDF, and 4.4%–10.7% for multilevel ACDF [1]. The upper cervical spine (C1-C2) has the lowest risk for ASD and appears in fewer reports [2...
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) has been widely adopted as a fusion adjunct in spine surgery since its approval in 2002. A number of concerns regarding adverse effects and potentially devastating complications of rhBMP-2 use led to an FDA advisory issued in 2008 caution...
