Anterior Controllable Antedisplacement and Fusion (ACAF) for Cervical Stenosis Patients With Hyperextension Injury: A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Central cord syndrome (CCS) is an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) causing severe motor weakness, and timely decompression via surgical intervention facilitates better recovery. Anterior controllable antedisplacement and fusion (ACAF) is a novel decompression technique and achieved satisfactory outcomes in treating cervical degenerated diseases. However, the clinical effects of ACAF on CCS remains unknown. This present study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of ACAF for cervical stenosis patients with CCS due to hyperextension injury.

Methods

This is a retrospective study, and patients who underwent ACAF due to CCS in our institution from July 2021 to December 2022 were enrolled based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All patients underwent x-ray
