Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion by Zero Profile Anchored Cage for Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease

The incidence of degenerative cervical conditions is increasing with the aging population, and it is well-recognized as a primary cause of myelopathy, radiculopathy, and disc herniation. Degenerative cervical conditions are the most prevalent conditions of the spinal cord, mainly affecting male patients over 55 years old. Currently, the treatment of degenerative spinal diseases remains focused on managing symptoms using both conservative and surgical methods. Surgical decompression can enhance neurological function and prevent future deterioration.
