A nationwide registry study of surgical and patient-reported outcomes following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: Part 2 – cage with versus without local bone graft
This nationwide registry-based study demonstrates that ACDF performed with or without local bone graft is equally safe and effective, with comparable rates of PROM MCID achievement and similar adverse event profiles, although use of local bone graft was associated with higher reoperations and longer hospital stays.
