Brief Summary:
This is an observational, descriptive, prospective and retrospective data collection study. The purpose of this study is to observe radiographic outcomes of patients who will undergo anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) utilizing Tritanium C (Stryker Spine). The rate of fusion success and adverse events will be compared retrospectively to patients who underwent instrumented ACDF utilizing structural allograft bone with plates.
Detailed Description:
Retrospective Cohort: A maximum of 200 patients that received one or two level ACDF structural allograft with plates with autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone chips at AHN in the past will retrospectively be screened for inclusion into a pool of potential candidates for the retrospective cohort. Patients will be included in this preliminary pool if the following information are available: age (at surgery), sex, body mass index (at surgery), no smoking at baseline, number of levels operated on, which specific levels were operated on, standard of care clinic follow-up at 6 and 12 months (3 month visit not required) and imaging that can be used to assess fusion at baseline, 6 and 12 months (3 month imaging not required). If available, NDI and VAS, questionnaires completed during baseline and post-op visits will be collected.
This pool of retrospective cohort candidates will be used to match the patients in the prospective cohort to patients treated with structural allograft using a 1:2 ratio. Thus, 40 patients will ultimately be included in the retrospective cohort.
