Background: This study aims to assess the therapeutic efficacy of a modified arthroscopy discopexy suturing technique in combination with an anterior disc repositioning splint (ARS) for the treatment of early phase anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDwoR) patients.
Methods: During 2021-2022, early phase ADDwoR cases were included and underwent modified arthroscopy discopexy suturing surgery and ARS therapy after surgery. Pre- and post-surgical evaluation parameters include the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, maximum mouth opening (MMO), and disc-condyle relationship on MRI. Patients were followed up for a period of 6 months after surgery. Statistical significance was considered when p < 0.05.
Results: A total of 31 unilateral early phase ADDwoR cases were included, with an average age of 26.97. The VAS scores of pain decreased from 4.87 to 1.61, while MMO increased from 23.13 mm to 39.35 mm(p < 0.05). MRI evaluations at 1 month and 6 months post-surgical revealed a disc reduction rate of 93.55% and 90.32%, respectively.
Conclusion: The modified arthroscopy discopexy suturing technique combined with ARS therapy after surgery proves to be an effective, minimally invasive and simplified approach for the treatment of early phase ADDwoR patients.

Atraumatic acute myelopathy caused by idiopathic disc herniation is rare. This case presents a 47-year-old male with a sudden onset of severe neck pain and weakness upon waking that progressively worsened. His rapidly progressive myelopathy led to an MRI of the cervical spine, revealing severe spinal canal stenosis at the C6-C7 level due to a large disc herniation deforming the spinal cord.

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.
