An interventional study of anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion in Cervical Spine Fusion, sponsored by Assiut University. Status unknown. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-07-29.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
evaluate and assess short term outcome of treating degenerative and non-degenerative cervical conditions with single level anterior cervical corpectomy without posterior fusion
Cervical corpectomy is a procedure that removes damaged vertebrae and intervertebral disc that are compressing the spinal cord and spinal nerves. Various graft materials or spacers are used to maintain height and stability followed by anterior plating. It has an important role in the management of various degenerative, traumatic, neoplastic and infectious disorders of cervical spine.
While ACCF effectively decompresses the spinal cord, it is debated whether it can provide enough cervical stability, or an additional posterior fixation (PF) is required. Studies show that in multi-level anterior cervical corpectomy, additional posterior fixation provides extra support to improve cervical stability whether it is performed initially, or later as a supplementary surgery if material failure or instability occurred, On the other hand, in single level corpectomy, it remains controversial as single level ACCF showed sufficient stability in the majority of cases without additional support but pathologies affecting bone quality like infections and neoplasms seemed to be risk factor for construct failure and instability so additional PF was required .
