NCT02498028

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the clinical outcome after anterior cervical decompression and fusion, and cervical disc prostheses in general. Additionally these two surgical methods for degenerative diseases of the cercival spine are analyzed comparatively in order to see whether one procedure should be preferred.
