ANTERIOR CERVICAL DISCECTOMY AND FUSION [PDF]

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1969
1. A series of 154 patients who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion has been studied. A detailed analysis of the first eighty-four patients who have been observed for periods of from one to eight and a half years is described. In sixty-eight patients the fusion was done with a keystone type of graft, in seventeen by a dowel (Cloward ...

Impact of Prevertebral Fascia Suture and Relevant Risk Factors on Postoperative Dysphagia Following Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion. [PDF]

Orthop Surg
This study implemented a novel prevertebral fascia (PVF) suturing technique and demonstrated that PVF suturing during ACDF can significantly reduce both the incidence and severity of transient postoperative dysphagia in patients. The incidence of postoperative dysphagia is also significantly associated with advanced age, greater ΔC2‐7A, and minor ΔTS ...
