Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of 1-Level Versus 2-Level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: Clinical and Radiographic Follow-Up at 60 Months.
This study represents a posthoc analysis of data collected from 2 control arms of a prospective, randomized study. ⋯ One- and 2-level ACDF groups improved significantly and maintained improvement throughout 60 month follow-up. When comparing groups, outcomes were often similar, though the 1-level group demonstrated higher fusion rates at 6 and 12 months, greater improvement in NDI scores from 18 to 60-month follow-up, and greater improvement in SF-12 PCS from 12 to 60 months.
