Biomechanical Effects of Zero‐P Height on Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: A Finite Element Study

In summary, after determining the appropriate height range for the implant in accordance with the mean height of the intervertebral space, opting for a larger size appears to be more advantageous. This approach helps maintain the height of the intervertebral space and provides greater stress, promoting a tighter fit between the upper and lower endplates and the Zero-P. This tighter fit is crucial for maintaining spinal stability, enhancing the early bony fusion rate, and potentially leading to better postoperative outcomes.
