EFFECT OF MODIC CHANGE ON CLINICAL OUTCOME OF CERVICAL DISC HERNIATION PATIENTS UNDERGOING ANTERIOR CERVICAL DISCECTOMY AND FUSION

Highlights The presence of preoperative Modic changes tends not to affect clinical outcomes after ACDF due degenerative pathology, including disc herniation. Preoperative are correlated with a worse picture. Abstract Background: Change (MC) is phenomenon that can be found in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) patients spinal diseases and the cervical region. effect change on outcome postoperative has been fully established. Anterior Cervical Discectomy Fusion (ACDF) procedure become gold standard treating herniation because it able eliminate pathological lesions prevent recurrence nerve compression. Objective: This study aimed determine MC undergoing therapy Material Method: was systematic review using filtered literature based PICOs. variables examined this were "modic change", "ACDF", "clinical outcome". Data collected from three databases, which then screened eligibility criteria, assessed for quality, reviewed qualitative descriptive method. Result: A total six articles published between 2017 2021 included study. an observational retrospective cohort tend ACDF. Conclusion: herniation, but remains risk factor disability provides
