Subsidence Following Anterior-Only Anterior Cervical Corpectomy Fusion For Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy
Subsidence occurred in ∼7% of patients undergoing anterior-only ACCF procedures for CSM. Notably, the use of expandable metal cages resulted in a lower rate of subsidence compared with the broader cohort. This finding suggests that these implant options may be preferable to reduce the risk of subsidence when corpectomy is necessary without posterior fixation.
