Overview

Retrospective study compares postoperative disability in cervical disk replacement and anterior diskectomy, suggesting implications for recovery improvement.

Key Points

  • This research aims to quantify and compare cumulative postoperative disability between cervical disk replacement and anterior cervical diskectomy.
  • Retrospective analysis of 327 patients undergoing ACDF or CDR for cervical radiculopathy.
  • Cumulative disability measured using modified integrated health status over one year.
  • Adjusted baseline differences using overlap weighting based on propensity scores.
  • Data analyzed through mixed-effects regression.
  • CDR associated with significantly lower cumulative disability than ACDF (mean difference, 1.03).
  • 1-level CDR showed 21.5% lower disability than 1-level ACDF.
  • 2-level CDR had a 32.1% lower disability compared to 2-level ACDF.
  • 1-level and 2-level CDR had comparable mIHS scores.
  • 2-level ACDF yielded greater disability than 1-level ACDF.
