“…In the present study, when speaking generally, the changes of the cervical sagittal alignment using a Zero-P spacer or a plate and cage system were similar to those in previously published papers [ 8 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. For both groups, the C2-C7 Cobb angle, the fused segment Cobb angle, as well as the fused segment disc wedge were found to be significantly improved immediately after surgery, and then these changes gradually decreased during follow-ups ( Table 4 ).…”

“…They found that, during the postoperative follow-up, the Zero-P spacer demonstrated a higher loss of correction on the disc height and C2-C7 Cobb angle compared to the plate and cage system. Recently, Xiao et al [ 30 ] studied the impact of 3-level ACDF on the occipito-atlantoaxial complex between the Zero-P spacer and the plate-cage system. In the Zero-P group, the restoration of cervical lordosis (C2-C7 Cobb angle) was significantly lost at the 1-year follow-up compared with the plate-cage group.…”

“…Clinically, surgical treatment is mainly adopted to relieve spinal cord and nerve root compression, restore the normal sequence and physiological curvature of cervical spine (CS), and rebuild the stability of CS. Anterior cervical decompression and fusion is a common method to treat lower cervical diseases [ 3 , 4 ], most of which are fixed with unicortical cervical vertebral screws, with a good fixation effect for patients with single-level cervical diseases. However, a combination of anterior and posterior surgery is usually required for those with single-level three-column injury or multilevel anterior compression treated by anterior vertebral screws, with anterior surgery for decompression and posterior surgery for fixation.…”
