Adjacent Segment Degeneration Following Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Versus the Bryan Cervical Disc Arthroplasty
BACKGROUND Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is an established treatment for degenerative disease of the cervical disc, but adjacent segment degeneration or instability may develop long term. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for adjacent segment degeneration following ACDF compared with the use of the Bryan artificial disc for cervical disc arthroplasty (CD...
متن کاملAdjacent Segment Pathology after Anterior Cervical Fusion
Anterior cervical fusion has become a standard of care for numerous pathologic conditions of the cervical spine. However, subsequent development of clinically significant disc disease at levels adjacent to fused discs is a serious long-term complication of this procedure. As more patients live longer after surgery, it is foreseeable that adjacent segment pathology (ASP) will develop in increasi...
متن کاملAdjacent segment disease after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion in a large series.
BACKGROUND Adjacent segment disease (ASD) development is known to occur after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between index ACDF levels and the location of ASD development (above/below), as well as the effect of fusion length on ASD development. METHODS We report 888 patients who underwent ACDF for cervical spondylosis over a twenty-year p...
متن کاملSymptomatic adjacent segment disease after single-lever anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors of symptomatic adjacent segment disease (ASD) following single-lever anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for cervical degenerative diseases.From January 2000 to December 2010, a total of 582 patients with cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy who had undergone single-lever ACDF surgery in the authors' instituti...
متن کاملIs Cervical Sagittal Imbalance a Risk Factor for Adjacent Segment Pathomechanics After Multilevel Fusion?
STUDY DESIGN A biomechanical study using human spine specimens. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess whether the presence of cervical sagittal imbalance is an independent risk factor for increasing the mechanical burden on discs adjacent to cervical multilevel fusions. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The horizontal offset distance between the C2 plumbline and C7 vertebral body (C2-C7 Sa...
