The average follow-up period was 12.1 ± 9.6 months, with preoperative and FFU back pain visual analog scale (VAS) scores showing highly significant improvement (p < 0.001).
The average follow-up period was 12.1 ± 9.6 months, with preoperative and FFU back pain visual analog scale (VAS) scores showing highly significant improvement (p < 0.001).
At 2 years, all measured PROMS: NPD, NS, NDI, SF-36, VAS Neck Pain, VAS Upper Limb Pain, JOA-CMS did not reach statistical significance between the two groups (p > 0.05) Conclusion: Compared to SAC, FAC cages demonstrated nearly double the subsidence rates at 1 year.
Graft location approached significance (p = 0.09, OR = 0.87). 134 grafts were placed posteriorly, and the remaining 46 were anterior.
Operative time showed no significant differences between FELD and MD , although FELD showed a trend towards a slightly shorter operative time in randomized controlled trials.
Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that graft placement does not significantly influence the likelihood of pseudarthrosis development following ACDF, despite graft location approaching significance.
Conclusion: Despite the radiographic information offered and considering that all cases had the same clinical picture, there was a clear trend for one specific treatment option for most surgeons, allowing for the conclusion that surgeon preference is the key factor on surgical decision making for degenerative spondylolisthesis.
A negative trend in peri-operative BMD at the UIV +1 was significantly associated with nearly 5 times the odds of experiencing PJK/PJF.
