Comparative clinical outcomes of ACDF with self-locking cage, cage combined with plate, and posterior laminoplasty in long-level cervical spondylosis: a two-year follow-up study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with self-lock cage through mini-incision, ACDF with cage and plate, and posterior laminoplasty (LAMP) for long-level cervical spondylosis without severe ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament.

Method

From January 2018 to January 2021, patients diagnosed with 3-4 segments (C3-7) cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, cervical spondylotic myelopathy, or mixed cervical spondylosis underwent surgical treatment. The procedures included ACDF with self-lock cage through mini-incision (48 cases) (group A), ACDF with cage and plate (37 cases) (group B), and LAMP (40 cases) (group C). Surgical parameters such as operative time, blood loss, incision length, and hospital
