Anterior hybrid construction of multilevel cervical disc disease and spondylotic spinal stenosis: Surgical results and factors affecting adjacent segment problems
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research May 09, 2021
Yilmaz M, Yucesoy K, Erbayraktar RS, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate reliability, radiological outcomes, and the impacts of anterior cervical hybrid construction on the adjacent segments for the multilevel cervical degenerative disc disease and spondylotic spinal stenosis. Between 2008 and 2018, researchers conducted a retrospective analysis using data extracted from the medical files of 195 patients (105 males, 90 females; mean age: 47.7 years) who had undergone anterior cervical hybrid construction for symptomatic contiguous at least 2-level cervical degenerative disc diseases and cervical spondylosis. They examined clinical and radiological data including Neck Disability Index, visual analogue scale, local cervical degenerative disk disease in adjacent segments on magnetic resonance imaging views, and complications. For the management of multilevel cervical degenerative disc diseases and spondylotic spinal stenosis, anterior cervical hybrid construction seems to be an acceptable option.
