Although published data support the utilization of circumferential fusion to treat select cervical spine pathologies, it is unclear whether the posterior–anterior–posterior (PAP) fusion has increased risks compared with the anterior–posterior fusion.
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the differences in perioperative complications between the 2 circumferential cervical fusion approaches.
METHODS:
