Fusion Free Median Corpectomy – Long-Term Consequence of Foregoing Fusion and Fixation: A Serendipitous Observation

This small case series suggests that a modified cervical corpectomy technique, involving a smaller wedge size (12 × 15 mm), may be considered in selected cases without radicular symptoms. This approach helps to provide neural decompression without compromising stability and avoids graft-related complications. While promising, further research, including prospective randomized-controlled trials, is essential to validate the biomechanical properties and clinical outcomes of this modified technique compared to traditional ACCF.

Abstract

This small case series suggests that a modified cervical corpectomy technique, involving a smaller wedge size (12 × 15 mm), may be considered in selected cases without radicular symptoms. This approach helps to provide neural decompression without compromising stability and avoids graft-related complications. While promising, further research, including prospective randomized-controlled trials, is essential to validate the biomechanical properties and clinical outcomes of this modified technique compared to traditional ACCF.
