Cage-screw and anterior plating combination reduces the risk of micromotion and subsidence in multilevel anterior cervical discectomy and fusion- A finite element study
The Spine Journal Feb 06, 2021
Lin M, Shapiro SZ, Doulgeris J, et al. - A finite element (FE) analysis study was performed to explore the impact of cage-screws on the biomechanical characteristics of the human spine, implanted cage, and associate hardware by comparing the micromotion and subsidence. Researchers constructed a FE model of a C3-C5 cervical spine with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). This study’s findings demonstrated that the cage-screw and anterior plating combination has promising potential to decrease the risk of micromotion and subsidence of implanted cages in two or more level ACDFs.
