Is Anterior Cervical Fusion With a Porous Tantalum Implant a Cost-Effective Method to Treat Cervical Disc Disease With Radiculopathy?

Abstract

This cost-effectiveness analysis reports favorable results for ACDF procedures utilizing a tantalum implant. The data reported suggest that using porous tantalum as a stand-alone device is less costly and more effective than autograft and plate in ACDF procedures.
