There is a 6% failure rate after fixed-plated (cervical spine locking plate) two-level ACF reconstruction but a 71% failure rate after three-level fixed-plated ACF reconstruction. Future consideration should be given to simultaneous posterior fusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
