Could the Type of Allograft Used for Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Affect Surgical Outcome? A Comparison Between Cortical Ring Allograft and Cortico-Cancellous Allograft
Allograft resorption or fracture occurs more frequently with cortico-cancellous than cortical ring allografts. Despite the frequent occurrence of allograft-related complications with cortico-cancellous allografts, the fusion rate was not significantly affected. Due to the higher rate of allograft resorption or fractures and greater subsidence with cortico-cancellous allografts, cortical ring allografts might yield more stable results in ACDF.
