Standalone cage versus anchored cage for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: a comparative analysis of clinical and radiological outcomes

Niharika Virkar et al.

Summary: The use of standalone cages (SAC) and anchored cages (AC) in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery (ACDF) has advantages of reduced operative time and lower incidence of dysphagia. However, there is limited literature available comparing the clinical and radiological outcomes of SAC and AC. This study found that both SAC and AC had comparable clinical outcomes and radiological alignment outcomes, but AC showed lower rates of subsidence.

Comparison of Patient-Reported Postoperative Dysphagia in Patients Undergoing One-Level Versus Two-Level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion with the Zero-P Implant System

Chengyi Huang et al.

Summary: The study found that two-level ACDF with the Zero-P Implant System resulted in a significantly higher incidence and severity of postoperative dysphagia at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months compared to one-level ACDF. Older age, two-level surgery, greater prevertebral soft tissue swelling (PSTS), and the difference between postoperative and preoperative C2-7 angle (dC(2-7)A) were significantly associated with a higher incidence of dysphagia after ACDF with the Zero-P.

Comparison of Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes After Standalone Versus Cage and Plate Constructs for Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion

Islam Fayed et al.

Summary: In comparing standalone and plated constructs for ACDF, standalone constructs showed slightly higher but statistically insignificant revision rates, without reducing the incidence of dysphagia or hoarseness, or decreasing procedure duration. Surgeons may want to limit the use of standalone constructs to cases of adjacent segment disease. Larger studies with longer follow-up are needed for more definitive conclusions.
