Comparative analysis of ACDR and ACDF in the treatment of single segmental cervical intervertebral disc herniation
Abstract：Objective To compare the effect of anterior cervical discectomy and interbody fusion(ACDF) and artificial cervical disc replacement(ACDR) in the treatment of single segmental cervical disc herniation.Methods A total of 81 patients with single segmental cervical disc herniation were collected in our hospital from January 2010 to June 2014, in which 40 patients received ACDF surgery(fusion group) and other 41 patients underwent ACDR sur-gery(permutation group).The changes of activity were compared between the two groups before and the last follow-up after the surgery.Results There were significant differences in the changes of activity between the two groups at the last time of follow-up after the surgery(P <0.01).For each group, the activity improved at the end of the follow-up compared with that before the surgery(P <0.01).Conclusion Both ACDR and ACDF are effective in the treatment of single segmental cervical disc herniation, which improves the activity of cervical disc herniation.ACDR also makes the surgery adjacent segments of the compensatory activity increased, and therefore may prevent adjacent segment de-generation.
