Association between sagittal balance and adjacent segment degeneration in anterior cervical surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Adjacent segment degeneration and disease following cervical arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Cervical arthroplasty is an increasingly popular alternative for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy. This technique preserves motion at the index and adjacent disc levels, avoiding the restraints of fusion and potentially minimizing adjacent segment pathology onset during the postoperative period. PURPOSE This study aimed to identify all prospective stud...
