Impact of titanium mesh cage slotting width on anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion for compression cervical spondylosis with MRI T2WI hyperintensity: a one-year follow-up study
The study demonstrated that a wider TMC slotting width offers superior decompression and may improve postoperative spinal cord signal; it does not compromise spinal stability or fusion outcomes. These findings indicate that slotting width should be carefully considered in ACCF procedures to optimize decompression and spinal cord recovery.
