Long-Term Outcomes After Four-Level Cervical Arthrodesis with Stand-Alone PEEK Cage versus PEEK Cage with Anterior Plating: A Retrospective Multicenter Comparative Study
Abstract:Background Data: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a gold-standard option for treating cervical degenerative disc diseases (DDD). Anterior plating enhances stabilization with improved outcomes and reduced risk of pseudarthrosis yet with annoying morbidities. Fusion with stand-alone cages avoids such complications, although its use in multilevel disc arthrodesis is still controversial. Study Design: Retrospective multicenter comparative cohort study. Purpose: To evaluate clinical and radiologica… Show more
