Long-Term Results Over 10 Years of Anterior Corpectomy and Fusion for Multilevel Cervical Myelopathy

Abstract

The long-term follow-up showed stable clinical results for more than 10 years, which depended on the thorough removal of the possible causes of the myelopathy, such as ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament or a degenerated disc. Adjacent disc degeneration has minimal effects on the long-term clinical results after anterior long fusion.
