Anterior Cervical Plating Enhances Arthrodesis after Discectomy and Fusion with Cortical Allograft

Abstract

The use of anterior cervical plating after one- and two-level ACDF with allograft cortical bone significantly enhanced arthrodesis. The improved fusion rate and negligible complication rate associated with anterior cervical plating are compelling factors justifying its use in the treatment of cervical spondylosis.
