Abstract:Study Design:
Retrospective observational study of consecutive patients
Objective:
The purpose of the study was to evaluate VBQ as a predictor of interbody subsidence and to determine threshold values that portend increased risk of subsidence.
Summary of Background Data:
Many risk factors have been reported for the subsidence of interbody cages in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). MRI Vertebral… Show more
