Summary

This retrospective study aimed to identify predictive prognostic factors for treatment outcomes in patients with cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD). The study analyzed data from 80 patients who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with the Bagby and Kuslich (BAK/C) technique. Patients were stratified into two groups based on clinical outcomes at a 3-year follow-up, and logistic regression was used to determine which factors, such as age and bone mineral density, were independent predictors of poor recovery.

Conditions

  • Cervical Spondylosis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion with BAK/C Interbody Fusion

The surgical intervention consisted of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Patients were placed under general anesthesia in a supine position with slight neck extension. A standard right anterior cervical approach was utilized to expose the affected vertebral levels. Following the removal of the degenerated intervertebral disc and osteophytes, the interbody space was prepared. A Bagby and Kuslich (BAK/C) interbody fusion cage, filled with autogenous bone fragments, was implanted to facilitate fusion. In cases of multi-level surgery, an anterior cervical plate was selectively applied for enhanced stability based on intraoperative assessment. Postoperatively, all patients were required to wear a Philadelphia hard neck brace for a period of 2 months.
