Abstract:
Objective To observe the fusion rate by using cage filled with osteophyte in anterior cervical disectomy and fusion.Methods From January 2010 to July 2012,81 patients receiving anterior cervical disectomy and spine fusion underwent treatment with cages containing exclusively autologous osteophyte collected from both anterior and posterior vertebral edges adjacent to the intervertebral space.There were 52 males and 29 females,aged from 55 to 78 years,average 64.1 years in this study.46 patients received one-level fusion,and 35 patients received two-level fusion respectively.Patients were followed up at 3 months,6 months and 1 year after operation.The fusion was evaluated by X-ray film and reconstructive CT.Results The total fusion rate after 3 months of operation was 76.5％ (62/81),the one-level and two-level fusion rate were 78.3％ (36/46) and 74.3％ (26/35),respectively.The total fusion rate after 6 months of operation was 93.8％ (76/81),the one-level and two-level fusion rate were 95.7％ (44/46) and 91.4％ (32/35),respectively.The total fusion rate was 100％ (81/81) after 1 year of operation.No statistically significant difference in fusion rate was found between the two groups.Conclusions The method of using cage filled with osteophyte can acquire ideal fusion rate in one-and two-level anterior cervical disectomy,fusion and plate fixation.
