Early Outcomes of Multilevel ACDF With Segmental Plate Fixation
Segmental plating in multilevel ACDF is safe and leads to sustained improvements in disability, pain, and alignment, with fusion rates comparing favorably to traditional plating. In contrast to stand-alone implants, multilevel segmental ACDF led to alignment and subsidence results consistent with traditional plating. Unlike traditional ACDF, the number of levels treated did not seem to influence rates of pseudoarthrosis and subsidence.
