Rigid Fusion After Cloward Operation for Cervical Disc Disease Using Autograft, Allograft, or Xenograft

Abstract: Most of the patients healed with a rigid fusion no matter which graft was used, but the healing process took longer than expected. The clinical results were not influenced by whether mobility could be demonstrated. There was a tendency toward better clinical results in the patients treated with autograft.

“…Complications encountered using this technique include nonunion, collapse of the implant producing segmental kyphotic deformity, and donor site morbidity [14,21,30,31,47]. Moreover, radiographic degeneration of the disc spaces adjacent to one-level anterior cervical fusion seems to be a frequent finding at long-term followup [23,30,32,42]. Hilibrand et al [23] observed a prevalence of symptomatic adjacent-level degeneration after anterior cervical arthrodesis of 12% at 5 years and of 19% at 10 years with an average annual incidence of 3%.…”

“…No estudo de Suchomel et al, as análises foram feitas unicamente a partir de radiografias simples, com margens a erro de interpretação (4) . No artigo de Löfgren et al, a casuísti-ca de 43 pacientes é dividida em três grupos (osso autólogo, homólogo e heterólogo), o que aumenta a margem de erro estatística (8) . Já no artigo de Gibson et al, baseado em casos de 2002, artrodese da coluna lombar, foram utilizadas cabeças femorais (osso fresco congelado), material com aparente maior capacidade osteoindutora, com resultados mais convincentes (69 casos, seguimento de seis anos e desenho objetivo de estudo, com análise de poucas variáveis) (7) .…”
