Anterior Corpectomy With Iliac Bone Fusion or Discectomy With Interbody Titanium Cage Fusion for Multilevel Cervical Degenerated Disc Disease

Abstract

Either a multilevel discectomy and cage fusion with plating or a corpectomy and iliac bone fusion with plating provides good clinical results and similar fusion rates for cervical degenerative disc disease. However, absence of donor site complications and construct failures and shorter hospital stay make the multilevel discectomy and cage fusion with plate fixation better than corpectomy and strut graft fusion with plate fixation.
