Objective: The optimal choice for fusion strategy in Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) remains an unresolved issue. This study aims to perform a network meta-analysis and systematic review of fusion rate and complication rate of various fusion strategies used in ACDF.
Methods: This study followed Prisma guidelines, and we searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science from inception to November 11, 2022, for Randomized Controlled trials comparing the efficacy and safety of fusion modalities in ACDF. The primary outcome was the fusion rate and complication rate. The PROSPERO number is CRD42022374440.
Results: This meta-analysis identified 26 Randomized Controlled trial studies with 1789 patients across 15 fusion methods. The cage with autograft + plating showed the highest fusion rate, surpassing other methods like iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) and artificial bone graft (AFG). The stand-alone cage with autograft (SATG) had the second highest fusion rate. Regarding complication rate, the cage with AFG (CAFG) had the highest rate, more than other methods. The ICBG had a higher complication rate compared to ICBG + P, AFG, stand-alone cage with artificial bone graft, SATG, and CALG. The SATG performed well in both fusion and complication rate.
Conclusions: In this study, we conducted the first network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of various fusion methods in ACDF. Our findings suggest that SATG, with superior performance in fusion rate and complication rate, may be the optimal choice for ACDF. However, the results should be interpreted cautiously until additional research provides further evidence.

Background: This study is aimed to compare the differences in clinical outcomes between the crossed rod configuration and the parallel rod configuration applied in posterior occipitocervical and atlantoaxial fixations, and to assess the clinical applicability of crossed rods.
Methods: From January 2015 to December 2021, 21 patients with craniocervical junction disorders were treated surgically with the crossed rod technique (CR group). Meanwhile, 27 corresponding patients treated with the conventional parallel rod technique were included as control (PR group).
Does Two-level Hybrid Surgery Promote Early Fusion Compared with Two-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion?
Spine J
December 2024
Department of Orthopedics, Orthopedic Research Institute, West China Hospital, Sichuan University.. Electronic address:
Background Context: Hybrid surgery (HS), which involves both anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and cervical disc replacement (ACDR), is increasingly used to treat multilevel cervical disc degenerative disease, yielding satisfactory clinical outcomes. Early fusion is critical after anterior cervical fusion surgeries, but there are no studies comparing the rate of early fusion of HS with that of ACDF.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the rate of early fusion (3-6 months postoperatively) of two-level HS with that of two-level ACDF surgery.
Recurrent Lumbar Disk Herniation and Revision Surgery Rates After Single-Level Lumbar Microdiscectomy in the Military Population.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda MD (Colantonio, Fredericks, Cady, Schlaff, Helgeson, and Wagner), the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, Bethesda MD (Colantonio, Fredericks, Elsenbeck, Schlaff, Christensen, Helgeson, and Wagner), the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Martin Army Community Hospital, Ft. Benning GA (Elsenbeck), and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Naval Hospital Pensacola, Pensacola FL (Christensen).
Background: Lumbar microdiscectomy remains the most commonly performed surgical procedure for symptomatic lumbar disk herniation (LDH). Despite advances in surgical techniques, recurrent LDH (rLDH) ranges from 5% to 24%, representing the most common cause of surgical failure and revision surgery. Optimal treatment of reherniation remains controversial.

This study aimed to identify risk factors for deep surgical site infection (SSI) following open posterior lumbar fusion (OPLF). We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients who underwent OPLF between January 2014 and December 2022. Patients were divided into SSI and non-SSI groups according to whether deep SSI occurred following OPLF.
