Lower 5-yr subsequent surgery rate with Mobi-C disc arthroplasty vs ACDF with allograft
This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
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.
Subsequent surgery rates after cervical total disc replacement using a Mobi-C Cervical Disc Prosthesis versus anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: a prospective randomized clinical trial with 5-year follow-up
J Neurosurg Spine. 2016 May;24(5):734-45Exclusive Author Interview
599 patients with either single- or two-level degenerative cervical disc disease were randomized to treatment through either cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) or anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Data on subsequent surgeries - occurring either at the index level, adjacent level, or both - were obtained and compared between groups. Data demonstrated significantly lower rates of both subsequent surgery at the index level and subsequent surgery at adjacent levels in the CDA group compared to the ACDF group.
