Adjacent-Level Ossification Development in Single-Level Standalone Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Versus Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion With Plate

Christopher Huang, MBBS, Ralph Mobbs, FRACS, Michael Selby, FRACS, Kevin Phan, MBBS, Prashanth Rao, FRACS, PhD

doi : 10.1177/2192568220902749

First Published January 30, 2020; pp. 292–298

Adjacent-level ossification development (ALOD) is a distinct form of adjacent segmental degeneration that has been recognized to occur after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). It is unclear whether ACDF with plate versus standalone has an effect on rates of ALOD. This retrospective case-control study aims to assess the rate of ALOD in a large series of patients undergoing ACDF with and without plate and factors causing ALOD.
