Reoperation Risk Between Plated and Stand-Alone Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
In this large, comparative study including a cohort of nearly 4000 patients, differences in reoperation rates for ACDF-S compared with ACDF-P constructs were not observed. This information could be used to better inform surgeons, patients, administrators, and policy makers between the 2 ACDF options.
