Biomechanical evaluation of stand-alone interbody fusion cages in the cervical spine.
STUDY DESIGN An in vitro biomechanical investigation of the immediate stability in cervical reconstruction. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the segmental stability afforded by the interbody fusion cage, the anterior locking plate, and the "gold standard" autograft. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Recently, interbody fusion cage devices have been developed and used for cervica...
متن کاملLong-Term Follow-Up Results of Anterior Cervical Inter-Body Fusion with Stand-Alone Cages
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term follow-up radiologic/clinical outcomes of patients who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and inter-body fusion (ACDF) with stand-alone cages (SAC) in a single academic institution. METHODS Total 99 patients who underwent ACDF with SAC between February 2004 and December 2012 were evaluated retrospectively. A total of 131 segmen...
متن کاملStand-Alone Cages for Anterior Cervical Fusion: Are There No Problems?
OBJECTIVE There are complications in stand-alone cage assisted anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), such as cage subsidence and kyphosis. Here we report our clinical result on ACDF, comparing with stand-alone cages and with cervical plate system for degenerative cervical spine diseases. METHODS Patients with degenerative cervical disease who were diagnosed and treated in Konyang Un...
متن کاملBilateral posterior cervical cages provide biomechanical stability: assessment of stand-alone and supplemental fixation for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
INTRODUCTION Supplemental posterior instrumentation has been widely used to enhance stability and improve fusion rates in higher risk patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). These typically involve posterior lateral mass or pedicle screw fixation with significant inherent risks and morbidities. More recently, cervical cages placed bilaterally between the facet joints...
متن کاملA Matched Cohort Analysis Comparing Stand-Alone Cages and Anterior Cervical Plates Used for Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE To compare perioperative characteristics of stand-alone cages and anterior cervical plates used for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). METHODS We reviewed 40 adult patients who received a stand-alone cage for elective ACDF and matched them with 40 patients who received an anterior cervical plate. We statistically compared opera...
