Cervical disc arthroplasty vs. ACDF for cervical disc disease .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Cervical Total Disc Replacement is Superior to Anterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion: A Meta-Analysis of Prospective Randomized Controlled Trials
PLoS One. 2015 Mar 30;10(3):e011782619 randomized controlled trials were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis comparing outcomes following cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) versus anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). CDA resulted in lower Neck Disability Index scores and greater rates of at least a minimum 15-point improvement on the NDI, lower pain scores, higher range of motion at the operated level, lower rates of secondary surgery at the operated level in the short- and mid-term, lower rates of secondary surgery at adjacent levels in the short-term, and higher rate of overall success (min. 15-pt improvement in NDI, improvement or maintenance of neurological status, and no experience of severe adverse event) when compared to ACDF.
