32. Comparative outcomes of skip-level cervical arthroplasty and fusion in noncontiguous cervical degenerative disc disease
BACKGROUND CONTEXT
This study investigates the clinical and radiological outcomes of skip-level cervical surgeries, comparing cervical arthroplasty (CDA) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) approaches in treating noncontiguous cervical degenerative disc disease. It focuses on the incidence of adjacent segment disease (ASD) and evaluates the motion-preserving efficacy of CDA in this context.
PURPOSE
N/A
STUDY DESIGN/SETTING
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 70 patients with non-contiguous cervical degenerative disc disease who underwent skip-level anterior cervical surgeries (37 ACDF and 33 CDA cases). Demographic, clinical, and radiological data were assessed over a 2-year follow-up period. Cervical lordosis, range of motion (ROM), and ASD rates were compared between the two groups. Statistical analyses were performed to determine significant differences.
PATIENT SAMPLE
A total of 70 patients with noncontiguous cervical degenerative disc disease who underwent skip-level anterior cervical surgeries (37 ACDF and 33 CDA cases) were included.
OUTCOME MEASURES
Demographic, clinical, and radiological data were assessed over a 2-year follow-up period. Cervical lordosis, ROM, and ASD rates were compared between the two groups. Statistical analyses were performed to determine significant differences.
METHODS
N/A
RESULTS
The ASD rate was significantly lower in the CDA group (18.2%) compared to the ACDF group (40.5%, p = 0.04). Postoperative cervical ROM and skip-level ROM were significantly higher in the CDA group than in the ACDF group (p = 0.01 and p = 0.04, respectively). Both techniques restored cervical lordosis, but the fusion group exhibited a significant reduction in overall cervical ROM (p = 0.01), unlike the CDA group, which preserved motion.
CONCLUSIONS
Skip-level CDA is a motion-preserving surgical alternative with a lower ASD incidence and better cervical and skip-level ROM compared to ACDF. These findings highlight the benefits of CDA in addressing the challenges of non-contiguous cervical degenerative disc disease while maintaining cervical mobility. Future prospective studies are recommended to validate these results.
