Accuracy of MRI-Based Vertebral and Endplate Bone Quality in Predicting Cage Subsidence in Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
MRI-based VBQ and EBQ scores demonstrate strong diagnostic accuracy for predicting cage subsidence in anterior cervical spine surgery. These scores could aid in preoperative risk assessment, though further research should aim to standardize MRI protocols and validate cutoff values across diverse populations.
