Medium Term Outcomes of Single-Level Posterior Cervical Foraminotomy versus Single-Level Anterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion versus Single-Level Cervical Disc Replacement for Cervical Radiculopathy
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to compare the rates of revision surgery following three surgical treatments for cervical radiculopathy: single-level posterior cervical foraminotomy (PCF), anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF), and total disc replacement (TDR). Their findings indicate that TDR has the lowest risk of subsequent revision surgery and implant failure, while PCF is associated with the highest risk of requiring additional ACDF. This study provides valuable insights into the medium-term outcomes of these surgical options.
