NCT03360409

Brief Summary

Patients with single-level cervical degenerative disc disease commonly undertook anterior discectomy. To compare the effect of anterior cervical discectomy without fusion (ACD), anterior cervical discectomy with fusion by stand-alone cage (ACDF) or anterior cervical discectomy with arthroplasty (ACDA), a multiple center randomised controlled trial will be performed in patients with single-level cervical disease. The primary outcome will be cervical alignment by upright cervical spine radiographs estimated by Harrison posterior tangent method.
