PURPOSE • The aim of this retrospective study is to compare two fusion techniques with reference to perioperative and radiological parameters and clinical outcomes. MATERIALS & METHODS • 74 patientshavingsurgerydueto 2-levelcervicalspondyloticmyeloradiculopathy • Surgery; • ACDF (twocontiguouslevels) • ACCF (singlelevelincluding 2 discspaces)
MATERIALS & METHODS • Theradiologicparameters • Cervicallordosis • Fusion rate • Theclinicalparameters • VisualAnalogScale [VAS] scores of neckandarmpain The perioperativeparameters • Hospitalization • Blood loss • Operation times • Complications
RESULTS • *ACDF: dura laceration in 1, hoarseness in 3 patients. • *ACCF: dura laceration in 1, incomplete transient C5 palsy in 1 patient.
CONCLUSION • Surgical management of 2-level cervical degenerative disc disease with myeloradiculopathy by ACDF or ACCF showed no significant differences in terms of clinical symptom improvement and fusion rates.
CONCLUSION • Although statistically insignificant, blood loss and operation times were lower in ACDF group. • In addition, ACCF provided less improvement in cervical lordosis.
