Efficacy of an allograft cellular bone matrix as an alternative to autograft in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: radiological results & safety
At the 12-month follow-up, our study demonstrates a high fusion rate in a real-world population of up to 4 operative levels. There were no bone graft related complications or incidences of cage migration/subsidence. It is noteworthy that the study involved a significant number of multilevel cases (74% of cases). Despite this, our results align with historical fusion rates and provide support for the utilization of ACBMs as a fusion adjunct in ACDF procedures up to 4 levels.
