A Comparison of Corpectomy ACDF Hybrid Procedures with Nano-Hydroxyapatite/Polyamide 66 Cage and Titanium Mesh Cage for Multi-level Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: A Stepwise Propensity Score Matching Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Previous studies have found satisfactory clinical results with the nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 (n-HA/PA66) cage to reconstruct the stability of anterior cervical column. However, studies evaluating the long-term outcomes of the n-HA/PA66 cage in multi-level degenerative cervical myelopathy (MDCM) have not been reported. This study aims to compare the outcomes of corpectomy anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) hybrid procedures between the n-HA/PA66 cage and titanium mesh cage (TMC) to treat MDCM.

Methods

After the screening for eligibility, this retrospective study involved 90 patients who underwent corpectomy ACDF hybrid (CACDFH) procedure from June 2013 to June 2018. The CACDFH procedure is the combination of ACDF and anterior cervical corpectomy a
