Is posterior cervical imbalance after anterior cervical discectomy with fusion a determinant in the development of adjacent cervical degeneration? A retrospective study with an average of 8 years of follow-up
We concluded that neither postoperative imbalance nor the type of arthrodesis in patients undergoing ACDF for degenerative pathology showed a positive correlation with the development of radiographic cervical ASDeg at an average follow-up of 8 years.
