Study Design: Case report and review of the literature. Objective: To present a conversion of an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with a cervical artificial disc replacement in a 39-year-old woman and to review the relevant literature. Summary of Background Data: Return of functional spinal unit motion 9 years after attempted fusion is extremely rare. Methods: The patient underwent an attempted anterior cervical discectomy and fusion 9 years earlier for bilateral hand numbness and…

Clinical and radiological outcomes following hybrid surgery in the treatment of multi-level cervical spondylosis: over a 2-year follow-up
TLDR
Clinical and radiological outcomes in patients with cervical spondylosis in three contiguous segments after treatment with artificial disc replacement combined with fusion indicate that hybrid surgery seems to be a promising, acceptable, and alternative surgical approach for the treatment of multi-level cervical disc disease.
Cervical Disc Arthroplasty Combined with Interbody Fusion for the Treatment of Cervical Myelopathy with Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis: A Case Report
TLDR
A 50-year-old Chinese man with cervical myelopathy who was effectively treated by a carefully designed surgical procedure with no evidence of rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis is presented.
Artificial disc and vertebra system: a novel motion preservation device for cervical spinal disease after vertebral corpectomy
TLDR
An artificial disc and vertebra system could restore vertebral height and preserve the dynamic function of the surgical area and could theoretically reduce the risk of adjacent segment degeneration compared with the anterior fusion procedure.
Mid- to long-term outcomes after cervical disc arthroplasty compared with anterior discectomy and fusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
TLDR
CDA may result in better mid- to long-term functional recovery and a lower rate of subsequent surgical procedures than ACDF would, and adequate future research should focus in this direction.
Are the standard parameters of cervical spine alignment and range of motion related to age, sex, and cervical disc degeneration?
OBJECT The aims of this study were 1) to establish the standard parameters of alignment and total and segmental range of motion (ROM) of the cervical spine in the asymptomatic population, and 2) to…

TLDR
This is the first reported case of reversal of a cervical fusion with re-establishment of motion and represents an alternate acceptable management of pseudoarthrosis or recent spinal fusion.
Early results and review of the literature of a novel hybrid surgical technique combining cervical arthrodesis and disc arthroplasty for treating multilevel degenerative disc disease: opposite or complementary techniques?
TLDR
Although larger series with longer follow-up are needed, in selected cases of symptomatic multilevel DDD, the proposed surgical strategy appears to be a safe and reliable application of combined arthroplasty and arthrodesis during a single surgical procedure.
[Functional evaluation of the cervical spine after Bryan artificial disc replacement].
TLDR
The clinical outcome of Bryan artificial disc replacement was quite good, and pre-operative range of motion of the cervical spine can be maintained.
Effects of a cervical disc prosthesis on maintaining sagittal alignment of the functional spinal unit and overall sagittal balance of the cervical spine
TLDR
Although the preoperative lordosis (or kyphosis) of the FSU could not always be maintained during the follow-up period, the overall sagittal balance of the cervical spine was usually preserved and preserved in 86% of cases at the final follow up.
Clinical and radiological results following cervical arthroplasty
TLDR
Arthroplasty using the Bryan disc appears to be safe and provided a favorable preliminary clinical and radiological outcome, and future studies will need to address the association between postoperative kyphosis, clinical outcome and adjacent segment disease.
A clinical analysis of 4- and 6-year follow-up results after cervical disc replacement surgery using the Bryan Cervical Disc Prosthesis.
TLDR
The favorable clinical and angular motion outcomes that were previously noted at 1- and 2-years' follow-up after cervical disc replacement with the Bryan Cervical Disc Prosthesis appear to persist after 4 and 6 years of follow- up.
Surgical outcome of cervical arthroplasty using bryan(r).
TLDR
Arthroplasty using the Bryan(R) disc seemed to be safe and provided encouraging clinical and radiologic outcome in this study, therefore long-term follow up studies are required to prove its efficacy and its ability to prevent adjacent segment disease.
Complications with cervical arthroplasty.
TLDR
The Bryan prosthesis was effective in maintaining spinal motion and there was a trend toward increased kyphosis of the C2-7 curvature postoperatively.
Residual mobility of instrumented and non-fused segments in thoracolumbar spine fractures
TLDR
The results of this study prove that in thoracolumbar fractures, non-fused spinal segments included in pedicular instrumentation maintained mobility in a high percentage once the hardware is removed.
Effect of lower two-level anterior cervical fusion on the superior adjacent level.
TLDR
Simulated C5-7 ACDF caused a significant increase in intradiscal pressure and segmental motion in the superior adjacent C4-5 level during physiological motion, which might accelerate normal degenerative changes in the vertebral levels adjacent to the anterior cervical fusion.
