Cage fusion or Plate fixation after three level anterior cervical discectomy
Hamdi N Mostafa
Misr University for Science and Technology, Egypt
Cervical disc herniation is commonly treated by Anterior
Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF), if conservative
management has failed. Fusion is needed after ACDF as
anterior longitudinal ligament will be absent after doing
the operation especially if multiple levels are needed.
The occurrence of complications as cage subsidence and
adjacent segment failure related to length of follow up as
they are increasing in percentage is directly proportional
to the length of follow up. Fusion is needed after ACDF as
anterior longitudinal ligament will be absent after doing
the operation especially if multiple levels are needed.
Some authors prefer to do fixation with fusion for the
previous fact while others proved that fusion may give the
same results as fixation with analyse the results
for patients underwent 3 levels ACDF with cage fusion for
short term and long term follow up in multiple centers as
visual analog score for neck pain & brachialgia.
