Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
SPINE, 1990A retrospective review of 94 patients who had undergone anterior cervical discectomy and fusion was performed to analyze the result in patients who had a diagnosis of posterolateral spondylosis, disc herniation, or both. Although in 23 of 94 patients additional adjacent asymptomatic levels of spondylosis were noted, only the symptomatic levels were ...

This meta-analysis aims to estimate the benefits and drawbacks associated with anterior cervical discectomy with arthroplasty (ACDA) versus anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for cervical spondylosis. Of 3651 identified citations, 10 randomised controlled studies involving 2380 participants were included.

Hospital use following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2021Most existing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) outcome studies omit emergency department (ED) use. To our knowledge, this study on ED use following ACDF surgery is the first to use a direct patient chart review and the first to include revision patients, 1-5 levels of ACDFs, and performance of corpectomy in the analysis.
