Dyspnea in the Supine Position after Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion

The Surgery Journal, 2018
Posterior occipitocervicothoracic fusion in a flexed position may cause dyspnea, and the onset of obstructive sleep apnea after anterior upper cervical fusion. However, there are no reports of dyspnea occurring after anterior lower cervical fusion. Here,

Biomechanics of Circumferential Cervical Fixation Using Posterior Facet Cages: A Cadaveric Study [PDF]

Neurospine, 2021
Objective Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a common procedure for the treatment of cervical disease. Circumferential procedures are options for multilevel pathology. Potential complications of multilevel anterior procedures are dysphagia

Biomechanical evaluation of a novel individualized zero-profile cage for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: a finite element analysis

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Introduction: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a standard procedure for treating symptomatic cervical degenerative disease. The cage and plate constructs (CPCs) are widely employed in ACDF to maintain spinal stability and to provide ...

Clinical Outcome Results of Stand Alone Anchored Spacer for Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion

Egyptian Spine Journal, 2018
Background Data: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) became the classic operation in treating degenerative cervical spondylosis. The application of anterior cervical plate helped fusion and stabilization; however, there were many reports of ...

Mid- to long-term rates of symptomatic adjacent-level disease requiring surgery after cervical total disc replacement compared with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: a meta-analysis of prospective randomized clinical trials

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2020
Background Thus far, no meta-analysis focusing on the mid- to long-term incidence of adjacent segment disease requiring surgery after cervical total disc replacement and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion has been published yet.

Prognostic Factors of Anterior Surgical Approach in Management of Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy [PDF]

International Journal of Medical Arts, 2020
Background: Spondylotic cervical myelopathy is defined as spinal cord dysfunction secondary to extrinsic compression of the spinal cord and/or its vascular supply so it is the commonest cause of cord dysfunction in patients over 55 years.

Self-locking stand-alone cage versus cage-plate fixation in monosegmental anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with a minimum 2-year follow-up: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2023
Background Currently, self-locking stand-alone cages (SSC) are commonly applied in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), as are cage-plate constructs (CPC).

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with and without plating: A comparison of radiological and clinical outcomes.

Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 2023
Treatment for degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine primarily aims to decompress neural structures and preserve the former height of the disc space and foramina. Popular methods include anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) using cages

Treatment of cervical radiculopathy by anterior cervical discectomy and cage fusion

Medical Journal of Dr. D.Y. Patil University, 2012
Introduction: Since the pioneering days of the anterior cervical approach introduced by Cloward et al. in the early 1950s, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been the standard procedure for most discogenic and degenerative cervical spinal
