Minimally invasive posterior cervical foraminotomy with tubes to prevent undesired fusion: a long-term follow-up study

Abstract

Minimally invasive PCF for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy demonstrates rates of revision at the index and adjacent levels similar to those following ACDF. In order to confirm the positive efficacy and cost analysis findings in this study, future studies need to extend the follow-up and show that the rate of revision with fusion does not increase substantially over time.
