Abstract
STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective study with prospective patient contact attempted to collect current data. OBJECTIVE The purpose was to investigate the incidence and reasons for lumbar total disk replacement (TDR) removal or revision. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA A concern regarding lumbar TDR was safety, particularly the need for device removal or revision. This may be particularly important considering removal/revision requires repeat anterior exposure with an increased risk of vascular injury. METHODS Data were collected for a series of 2141 lumbar TDR patients, beginning with the first case experience in 2000. The mean follow-up was 78.6 months. For each case of device removal/revision, the reason, duration from index surgery, and procedure performed were recorded. RESULTS Of 2141 patients, 27 (1.26%) underwent TDR removal or revision. Device removal was performed in 24 patients (1.12%), while three patients underwent revision (0.14%). Of the 24 removals, 12 were due to migration and/or loosening, three developed problems post-trauma, two developed lymphocytic reaction to device materials, two had ongoing pain, and there was one case of each: TDR was too large, vertebral body fracture (osteoporosis), lytic lesion, device subsidence and facet arthrosis, and infection seeded from a chest infection 146 months post-TDR. The three revisions were for Core repositioning (technique error), device repositioning after displacement, and core replacement due to wear/failure. With respect to timing, 37.0% of removals/revisions occurred within one-month postimplantation. Of note, 40.7% of removals/revisions occurred in the first 25 TDR cases performed by individual surgeons. There was one significant vascular complication occurring in a patient whose TDR was removed due to trauma. This was also the only patient among 258 with ≥15-year follow-up who underwent removal/revision. CONCLUSION In this large consecutive series, 1.26% of TDRs were removed/revised. The low rate over a 20 year period supports the safety of these devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Anterior cervical disc replacement (ACDR) and minimally invasive posterior cervical foraminotomy (MI-PCF) have emerged as two increasingly popular alternatives to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for the management of cervical radiculopathy. Both techniques provide advantages of segmental motion preservation and lower rates of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) compared to ACDF. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical and functional outcomes of patients undergoing ACDR or MI-PCF for the treatment of unilateral cervical radiculopathy. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING Retrospective Cohort Review. PATIENT SAMPLE A total of 152 patients were included (86 ACDR and 66 MI-PCF). OUTCOME MEASURES (1) Patient demographics; (2) perioperative data; (3) rates of complications and revisions; (5) visual analogue scale (VAS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores. METHODS A retrospective cohort review was performed to identify all patients at a single institution between 2012-2020 who underwent 1- or 2- level ACDR or MI-PCF from C3-C7 with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. Patient demographics, perioperative data, postoperative complications, and revisions were analyzed. Patient reported outcome measures including VAS and NDI scores were compared. RESULTS The ACDR group had a significantly greater mean operative time (99.8 minutes vs 79.2 minutes, p<.001), but comparable estimated blood loss and length of stay following surgical intervention (p=.899). The overall complication rate was significantly greater in the ACDR group than the MI-PCF group (24.4% vs 6.2%; p=.003) but was largely driven by approach-related dysphagia in 20.9% of ACDR patients. The MI-PCF group had significantly greater revision rates (13.6% vs 1.2%; p=.002) with an average time to revision of 20.7 months in the MI-PCF group compared to 40.3 months in the ACDR group. The ACDR cohort had significantly greater improvements in NDI scores at the final follow-up (25.0 vs 21.3, p<.001). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that ACDR offer clinically relevant advantages over MI-PCF in terms of long-term revision rates despite an increased approach-related risk of transient postoperative dysphagia. Additionally, patients in the ACDR cohort achieved greater mean improvements in NDI scores but these results may have limited clinical significance due to inability to reach minimally clinically important difference (MCID) thresholds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) are established surgical options for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy, myelopathy, and cervical degenerative disc disease. However, current literature does not demonstrate a clear superiority between ACDF and CDA. PURPOSE To investigate procedural and patient-reported outcomes of ACDF and CDA among patients included in the Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MSSIC) database. DESIGN Retrospective study of prospectively collected outcomes registry data. PATIENT SAMPLE Individuals within the MSSIC database presenting with radiculopathy, myelopathy, or cervical spondylosis refractory to typical conservative care undergoing primary ACDF or CDA from January 4, 2016, to November 5, 2021. OUTCOME MEASURES Perioperative measures (including surgery length, length of stay, return to OR, any complications), patient-reported functional outcomes at 2-year follow-up (including return to work, patient satisfaction, PROMIS, EQ-5D, mJOA). METHODS Patients undergoing ACDF were matched 4:1 with those undergoing CDA; propensity analysis performed on operative levels (1- and 2- level procedures), presenting condition, demographics, and comorbidities. Initial comparisons performed with univariate testing and multivariate analysis performed with Poisson generalized estimating equation models clustering on hospital. RESULTS A total of 2,208 patients with ACDF and 552 patients with CDA were included. Baseline demographics were similar, with younger patients undergoing CDA (45.6 vs 48.6 years; p<.001). Myelopathy was more frequent in ACDF patients (30% vs 25%; p=.015). CDA was more frequently planned as an outpatient procedure. Length of stay was increased in ACDF (1.3 vs 1.0 days; p<.001). Functional outcomes were similar, with comparable proportions of patients meeting minimal clinically important difference thresholds in neck pain, arm pain, PROMIS, EQ-5D, and mJOA score. After multivariate regression, no significant differences were seen in surgical or functional outcomes. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates similar outcomes for those undergoing ACDF and CDA at 2 years. Previous meta-analyses of CDA clinical trial data adhere to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria required by clinical studies; this registry data provides "real world" clinical outcomes reflecting current practices for ACDF and CDA patient selection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT In contrast to cervical discectomy and fusion, total disc replacement (TDR) aims at preserving the motion at the treated vertebral level. Spinal motion is commonly evaluated with the range of motion (ROM). However, more qualitative information about cervical kinematics before and after TDR is still lacking. PURPOSE The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of cervical TDR on ROM, instantaneous centers of rotation (ICR) and three-dimensional helical axes. STUDY DESIGN An in vitro study with human spine specimens under pure moment loading was conducted to evaluate the kinematics of the intact cervical spine and compare it to cervical TDR. METHODS Six fresh frozen human cervical specimens (C4-5, median age 28 years, range 19-47 years, two female and four male) were biomechanically characterized in the intact state and after implantation of a cervical disc prosthesis (MOVE-C, NGMedical, Germany). To mimic in vivo conditions regarding temperature and humidity, water steam was used to create a warm and humid test environment with 37°C. Each specimen was quasistatically loaded with pure moments up to ±2.5 Nm in flexion/extension (FE), lateral bending (LB) and axial rotation (AR) in a universal spine tester for 3.5 cycles at 1 °/s. For each third cycle of motion the ROM was evaluated and an established method was used to determine the helical axis and COR and to project them into three planar X-rays. Statistical analysis was conducted using a Friedman-test and post hoc correction with Dunn-Bonferroni-tests (p<.05). RESULTS After TDR, total ROM was increased in FE from 19.1° to 20.1°, decreased in LB from 14.6° to 12.6° and decreased in AR from 17.7° to 15.5°. No statistical differences between the primary ROM in the intact condition and ROM after TDR were detected. Coupled rotation between LB and AR were also maintained. The position and orientation of the helical axes after cervical TDR was in good agreement with the results of the intact specimens in all three motion directions. The ICR in FE and AR before and after TDR closely matched, while in LB the ICR after TDR were more caudal. The intact in vitro kinematics we found also resembled in vivo results of healthy individuals. CONCLUSION The results of this in vitro study highlight the potential of artificial cervical disc implants to replicate the quantity as well as the quality of motion of the intact cervical spine. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Physiological motion preservation was a driving factor in the development of cervical TDR. Our results demonstrate the potential of cervical TDR to replicate in vivo kinematics in all three motion directions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Various total disc replacement (TDR) designs have been compared to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with favorable short and long-term outcomes in FDA-approved investigational device exemption (IDE) trials. The unique design of M6-C, with a compressible viscoelastic nuclear core and an annular structure, has previously demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes through 24 months. PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of the M6-C compressible artificial cervical disc and compare to ACDF at 5 years. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, multicenter, concurrently and historically controlled, FDA-approved IDE clinical trial. PATIENT SAMPLE Subjects with one-level symptomatic degenerative cervical radiculopathy were enrolled and received M6-C (n=160) or ACDF (n=189) treatment as part of the IDE study. Safety outcomes were evaluated at 5 years for all subjects. The primary effectiveness endpoint was available at 5 years for 113 M6-C subjects and 106 ACDF controls. OUTCOME MEASURES The primary endpoint of this analysis was composite clinical success (CCS) at 60 months. Secondary endpoints were function and pain (neck disability index, VAS), physical quality of life (SF-36, SF-12), safety, neurologic, and radiographic assessments. METHODS Propensity score subclassification was used to control for selection bias and match baseline covariates of the control group to the M6-C subjects. Sixty-month CCS rates were estimated for each treatment group using a generalized linear model controlling for propensity score. RESULTS At 5 years postoperatively, the M6-C treatment resulted in 82.3% CCS while the ACDF group showed 67.0% CCS (superiority p=.013). Secondary endpoints indicated that significantly more M6-C subjects achieved VAS neck and arm pain improvements and showed maintained or improved physical functioning on quality-of-life measures compared to baseline assessments. The M6-C group-maintained flexion-extension motion, with significantly greater increases from baseline disc height and disc angle than observed in the control group. The rates of M6-C subsequent surgical interventions (SSI; 3.1%) and definitely device- or procedure-related serious adverse events (SAE failure; 3.1%) were similar to ACDF rates (SSI=5.3%, SAE failure=4.8%; p>.05 for both). CONCLUSIONS Subjects treated with the M6-C artificial disc demonstrated superior 5-year achievement of clinical success when compared to ACDF controls. In addition, significantly more subjects in the M6-C group showed improved pain and physical functioning scores than observed in ACDF subjects, with no difference in reoperation rates or safety outcomes.

Abstract
The burden of disease regarding lumbar and cervical spine pain is a long-standing, pervasive problem within medicine that has yet to be resolved. Specifically, neck and back pain are associated with chronic pain, disability, and exorbitant health care use worldwide, which have only been exacerbated by the increase in overall life years and chronic disease. Traditionally, patients with significant pain and disability secondary to disease of either the cervical or lumbar spine are treated via fusion or discectomy. Although these interventions have proved curative in the short-term, numerous longitudinal studies evaluating the efficacy of traditional management have reported severe impairment of normal spinal range of motion, as well as postoperative complications, including neurologic injury, radiculopathy, osteolysis, subsidence, and infection, paired with less than desirable reoperation rates. Consequently, there is a call for innovation and improvement in the treatment of lumbar and cervical spine pain, which may be answered by a modern technique known as intervertebral disc arthroplasty, or total disc replacement (TDR). Thus, this review aims to describe the management strategy of TDR and to explore updated considerations for its use in practice, both to help guide clinical decision making.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the leading surgical treatment for cervical radiculopathy. However, ACDF surgery has been suggested for to accelerate the degeneration of the adjacent cervical discs, which causes so-called adjacent segment disease (ASD). Over the past 2 decades, total disc replacement (TDR)/cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) has become an increasingly common method for treating degenerative cervical diseases. The rationale is that a synthetic disc prosthesis may preserve motion at the operated level, which is expected to lead to reduced stress on the other cervical levels and thus decrease the risk of developing ASD. However, since the method was first introduced in the early 2000s, the long-term outcome after it is still not completely understood. PURPOSE Our goal was to compare the long-term outcomes of TDR and ACDF procedures. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. PATIENT SAMPLE All patients who underwent TDR due to degenerative cervical disease at Helsinki University Hospital between 2006 and 2012 (38 patients) and matched control patients who underwent ACDF during this period (76 patients) for degenerative disc disease. OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome measure was the rate of reoperations and further cervical surgeries. Secondary outcome measures included neck symptoms (Neck Disability Index, or NDI), health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-3L), satisfaction with the surgery, radiological outcomes, and employment status. METHODS The medical records of all patients who underwent TDR due to degenerative cervical disease at Helsinki University Hospital between 2006 and 2012 and those of the matched control patients were analyzed retrospectively. Questionnaires were sent to all available patients at the end of the follow-up (median 14 years) to evaluate their employment status, levels of satisfaction with the surgery, current neck symptoms, and health-related quality of life. Radiological outcomes were evaluated from the cervical plain radiographs, which were taken either at the end of the follow-up as a part of the present study or earlier on for other clinical reasons, but at least 2 years after index surgery. RESULTS The total rate of reoperations and further cervical surgeries during the follow-up of a median of 14 years was 7/38 (18%) in the TDR group and 6/76 (8%) in the ACDF group (p=.096, ns.). Total disc replacement patients were reoperated earlier, and the 5-year reoperation rate was significantly higher in the TDR group (11% vs 1.3%, p=.026). None of the TDR patients underwent further cervical surgery more than 6 years after index surgery, whereas 5/6 (83%) of the reoperated ACDF patients were reoperated after that time. There were no significant differences in the NDIs between the patient groups. The employment rate and health-related quality of life were slightly higher in the TDR group, but the differences were statistically nonsignificant. TDR was significantly better at maintaining the angular range of motion at the operated level, and the fusion rate was significantly lower among this group. CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences in the long-term outcomes of ACDF and TDR when measured by reoperation rates, employment status, NDI, EuroQoL, and satisfaction with surgery. Reoperation rate and, on the other hand, employment rate and health-related quality of life, were higher in the TDR group, but the differences were statistically nonsignificant. However, TDR patients were reoperated earlier, and the 5-year reoperation rate was significantly higher in the TDR group. Randomized long-term studies in which these methods are compared are needed to further clarify the differences between them.

Abstract
PURPOSE Low back pain is a significant socio-economic problem which is expected to deepen. Degenerative disc disease is considered to be one of its main causes. Unsuccessful conservative treatments usually lead to surgical treatments, including methods providing pain relief by vertebral fusion in the affected segment. However, this leads to changes in biomechanics, which is why approximately 30 years ago total disc replacements appeared. This work aims at determining the current state of treatments with this kind of replacement, comparing the results with those of fusion methods and assessing why fusion continues to dominate. Current treatments of degenerative disc disease by advanced procedures (regenerative and gene therapy, 3D printing) is also examined and evaluated, and future developments are considered. METHODS A critical review based on available scientific articles from online databases. The main keywords used were "lumbar", "total", "disc" and "replacement", supplemented according to the individual, monitored areas ("follow-up", "fusion", "future" etc.). For the articles found through database search (n = 895), narrower selection was made and the result was 33 articles included in review. REVIEW Total disc replacements have not yet satisfactorily demonstrated that they are superior to fusion methods in long term follow-up. Advanced methods are in their infancy. CONCLUSIONS Additional research and development of total disc replacements is still necessary. For implants, the 3D scan - 3D model - 3D printing chain and its related technologies are increasingly important. The development of regenerative procedures using induced pluripotent stem cells and gene therapies is important, but conservative treatments and primary prevention should also be developed because regenerative procedures and gene therapies apparently will not be used routinely until the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adjacent segment degeneration (ASDeg) after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) seriously affects the long-term efficacy of the operation. Therefore, our team has done a lot of research on allograft intervertebral disc transplantation (AIDT) to prove its feasibility and safety. This study will compare the efficacy between AIDT and ACDF in the treatment of cervical spondylosis. METHODS All patients who received ACDF or AIDT in our hospital from 2000 to 2016 and followed up for at least 5 years were recruited and divided into ACDF and AIDT groups. The clinical outcomes including functional scores and radiological data of both groups were collected and compared preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 60 months and last follow-up. Functional scores included Japanese Orthopedic Association score (JOA), Neck Disability Index (NDI), Visual Analog Scale of Neck (N-VAS) and Arms (A-VAS) pain, the Short Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36) and imaging dates including digital radiographs in the lateral, hyperextension and flexion positions to assess the stability, sagittal balance and mobility of the cervical spine and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to assess the degeneration of adjacent segment. RESULTS There were 68 patients with 25 in AIDT group and 43 in ACDF group. Satisfactory clinical results were obtained in both groups, but the long-term NDI score and N-VAS score in the AIDT group were better. The AIDT obtained the same stability and sagittal balance of the cervical spine as fusion surgery. The range of motion of adjacent segments can be restored to the preoperative level after transplantation, but this increases significantly after ACDF. There were significant differences in the superior adjacent segment range of motion (SROM) between two groups at 12 months (P = 0.039), 24 months (P = 0.035), 60 months (P = 0.039) and the last follow-up (P = 0.011). The inferior adjacent segment range of motion (IROM) and SROM had a similar trend in the two groups. The ratio value of the greyscale (RVG) of adjacent segments showed a downward trend. At the last follow-up, the RVG decreased more significantly in the ACDF group. At the last follow-up, there was a significant difference in the incidence of ASDeg between the two groups (P = 0.000). And the incidence of adjacent segment disease (ASDis) is 22.86% in the ACDF group. CONCLUSION The allograft intervertebral disc transplantation may be as an alternative technique to traditional anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for the management of cervical degenerative diseases. For the more, the results showed it would improve cervical kinematics and reduce the incidence of adjacent segment degeneration.

Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the long-term safety, mobility and complications of cervical total disc arthroplasty with the Baguera®C prosthesis over 10 years. METHODS We included 91 patients treated by arthroplasty for cervical degenerative disc disease. A total of 113 prostheses were implanted (50 one-level, 44 two-level and 19 hybrid constructs). They were assessed for complications, clinically, with NDI and SF-12 questionnaires and by independent radiologists for ROM, HO, disc height and adjacent level degeneration. RESULTS No spontaneous migration, loss of fixation, subsidence, vascular complication or dislocation were observed. The reoperation rate was 1%. About 82.7% of the patients were pain free. About 9.9% were taking occasional grade I painkillers. Motricity and sensitivity were preserved in 98.8% and 96.3%. The NDI showed an average functional disability of 17.58%, 26% lower than preoperatively. The SF-12 scores were close to normal health. The average ROM at the treated level was 7.4°. Motion was preserved in 86.6%. Lack of motion was observed in 13.4%. Grades II and III H0 were present in 53.7% and 31.7%, respectively, Grade IV was present in 13.4%. Motion was preserved in 100% of the grades 0-III. The preoperative adjacent level disc height of 4.3 mm remained stable during all the follow-ups at 4.4 mm and 4.2 mm, respectively, at 5 and 10 years. CONCLUSIONS After 10 years, cervical arthroplasty with the Baguera®C prosthesis presents excellent safety and functional results and low complications. Motion was preserved in 86.6%, with a 7.4° ROM. Although common, HO did not hinder motion. Adjacent disc height preservation confirms some adjacent level degeneration protection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical disk arthroplasty replacement (CDA) was developed to avoid specific disadvantages of cervical fusion. The purpose of this paper is to provide 10-year follow-up results of an ongoing prospective study after CDA. METHODS Three hundred eighty-four patients treated using the Mobi-C (ZimVie, Troyes, France) were included in a prospective multicenter study. Routine clinical and radiologic examinations were reported preoperatively and postoperatively with up to 10-year follow-up. Complications and revision surgeries were also documented. RESULTS At 10 years showed significant improvement in all clinical outcomes [Neck Disability Index, visual analog scale (VAS) for arm and neck pain, physical component summary of SF36, and mental component summary of SF36). Motion at the index level increased significantly over baseline (mean range of motion=7.6 vs. 8 degrees at five years and 6.0 degrees preoperatively; P <0.001) and 71.3% of the implanted segments remained mobile (range of motion>3 degrees). Adjacent disks were also mobile at 10 years with the same mobility as preoperatively. At 10 years, 20.9% of the implanted segments demonstrated no heterotopic ossification. Thirty-four patients (8.9%) experienced 41 adverse events, with or without reoperation during the first five years. We found only two additional surgeries after five years. We observed an increased percentage of working patients and a decrease in medication consumption. Regarding the overall outcome, 94% of patients were satisfied. CONCLUSIONS Our 10-year results showed significant improvement in all clinical outcomes, with low rates of revision or failure. This experience in patients with long-term follow-up after CDA endorses durable, favorable outcomes in properly selected patients.

Abstract
Anterior cervical disc replacement (ACDR) using cervical artificial disc (CAD) has the advantage of maintaining the range of motion (ROM) at the surgical level, subsequently reducing the postoperative risk of adjacent disc disease. Following the approval for the clinical use in Japan, a post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study was conducted for two different types of CAD, namely, Mobi-C (metal-on-plastic design) and Prestige LP (metal-on-metal design). The objective of this prospective observational multicenter study was to analyze the first 2-year surgical results of the PMS study of 1-level ACDR in Japan. A total of 54 patients were registered (Mobi-C, n = 24, MC group; Prestige LP, n = 30, PLP group). Preoperative neurological assessment revealed radiculopathy in 31 patients (57.4%) and myelopathy in 15 patients (27.8%). Preoperative radiological assessment classified the disease category as disc herniation in 15 patients (27.8%), osteophyte in 6 patients (11.1%), and both in 33 patients (61.1%). The postoperative follow-up rates at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after ACDR were 92.6%, 87.0%, 83.3%, and 79.6%, respectively. In both groups, patients' neurological condition improved significantly after surgery. Radiographic assessment revealed loss of mobility at the surgical level in 9.5% of patients in the MC group and in 9.1% of patients in the PLP group. No secondary surgeries at the initial surgical level and no serious adverse events were observed in either group. The present results suggest that 1-level ACDR is safe, although medium- to long-term follow-up is mandatory to further verify the validity of ACDR for Japanese patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate reasons and their frequency for why spine surgeons subspecializing in total disc replacement (TDR) performed lumbar fusion rather than TDR. METHODS The study was based on a consecutive series of 515 patients undergoing lumbar TDR or fusion during a 5-year period by three surgeons specializing in TDR. For each fusion patient, the reason for not performing TDR was recorded. RESULTS TDR was performed in 65.4% (n = 337) of patients and the remaining 34.6% (n = 178) underwent anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF ± posterior instrumentation). Of the 178 fusion patients, the most common reason for fusion was combined factors related to severe degenerative changes (n = 59, 11.5% of the study population). The second most common reason was > Grade 1 spondylolisthesis (n = 32, 6.2%), followed by insurance non-coverage (n = 24, 4.7%), and osteopenia/osteoporosis (n = 13, 2.5%). Fusion patients were significantly older than TDR patients (52.5 vs. 41.6 years; p < 0.01). There was no significant difference with respect to gender (41.2% female vs. 43.8% female, p > 0.05) or the percentage of patients with single-level surgery (61.2% vs. 56.7%, p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The most common reason for not performing lumbar TDR was related to anatomic factors that may compromise stability of the operated segment and/or TDR functionality. The older age of fusion patients may be related to these factors. This study found that many patients are appropriate candidates for lumbar TDR. However, even among TDR subspecialists, fusion is preferred when there are factors that cannot be addressed with TDR and/or may compromise implant functionality.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of a new cervical artificial disc prosthesis in the treatment of cervical degenerative diseases. Methods: The clinical data of 18 patients with single-level cervical degenerative diseases who underwent three dimensional printed anatomical bionic cervical disc replacement at Department of Spinal Surgery,Honghui Hospital,Xi'an Jiaotong University from May 2019 to July 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 7 males and 11 females,aged (45±8) years old(range:28 to 58 years).The surgical segment was located at C3-4 level in 2 cases, C4-5 level in 5 cases, C5-6 level in 9 cases, and C6-7 level in 2 cases.The clinical and radiographic outcomes were recorded and compared at preoperative,postoperative times of one month and twelve months.The clinical assessments contained Japanese orthopedic association (JOA) score,neck disability index (NDI) and visual analogue scale (VAS).Imaging assessments included range of motion (ROM) of cervical spine, prosthesis subsidence and prosthesis anteroposterior migration.Repeated measurement variance analysis was used for comparison between groups,and paired t test was used for pairwise comparison. Results: All patients underwent the operation successfully and were followed up for more than 12 months.Compared with preoperative score,the JOA score,NDI and VAS were significantly improved after surgery (all P<0.01).There was no significant difference in postoperative ROM compared with 1-and 12-month preoperative ROM (t=1.570,P=0.135;t=1.744,P=0.099). The prosthesis subsidence was (0.29±0.13) mm (range: 0.18 to 0.50 mm) at 12-month postoperatively.The migration of prosthesis at 12-months postoperatively were (0.71±0.20) mm (range: 0.44 to 1.08 mm).There was no prosthesis subsidence or migration>2 mm at 12-month postoperatively. Conclusion: Three dimensional printed anatomical biomimetic cervical artificial disc replacement has a good early clinical effect in the treatment of cervical degenerative diseases, good mobility can be obtained while maintaining stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a potential and severe complication of cervical disc replacement (CDR). However, the underlying mechanism of CDR and its association with preoperative disc height loss (DHL) and postoperative degree of distraction remain unclear. We hypothesized that DHL and postoperative degree of distraction could predict HO after CDR. METHODS Data were obtained from 127 patients who underwent single-level CDR with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. DHL and adjusted degree of distraction (ADD) were obtained from lateral radiographs, and HO was evaluated at the last follow-up appointment. Receiver operating characteristic curves were calculated to verify the diagnostic value of DHL and ADD in predicting HO. RESULTS Both DHL and ADD were significantly larger in the HO group than in the non-HO group (P < 0.05). DHL ≥24.97% increased the risk of HO by 5 times (P = 0.003, 95% confidence interval 1.62-15.49), and ADD ≥36.67% increased the risk of HO by 3.87 times (P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval 1.81-8.27). A combined DHL and ADD (combined parameter) cutoff of 60.36 had a sensitivity of 87.18%, specificity of 67.35%, and area under the curve of 0.77 for predicting HO. CONCLUSIONS DHL and ADD are associated with the development of HO after CDR. The cutoff value of DHL may narrow the criteria for CDR with the aim of reducing HO formation. The combined parameter may help surgeons to select the most suitable implant height to reduce the prevalence of HO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical disc replacement (CDR) has been widely used as an effective treatment for cervical degenerative disc diseases in recent years. However, the cost of this procedure is very high and may bring a great economic burden to patients and the health care system. It is reported that outpatient procedures can reduce nearly 30% of the costs associated with hospitalization compared with inpatient procedures. However, the safety profile surrounding outpatient CDR remains poorly resolved. This study aims to evaluate the current evidence on the safety of outpatient CDR METHODS:: Four English databases were searched. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed according to the PICOS principle. The titles and abstracts of the records will be screened by 2 authors independently. Records that meet the eligibility criteria will be screened for a second time by reading the full text. An extraction form will be established for data extraction. Risk of bias assessment will be performed by 2 authors independently using Cochrane risk of bias tool or Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Data synthesis will be conducted using Stata software. Heterogeneity among studies will be assessed using I test. The funnel plot, Egger regression test, and Begg rank correlation test will be used to examine the publication bias. RESULTS The results of this meta-analysis will be published in a peer-review journal. CONCLUSION This will be the first meta-analysis that compares the safety of outpatient CDR with inpatient CDR. Our study will help surgeons fully understand the complications and safety profile surrounding outpatient CDR. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER:: doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/3597Z.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN The present study was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to conduct a systematic review of overlapping meta-analyses comparing ACDR with fusion for treating CDDD in order to assist decision makers in their selection among conflicting meta-analyses and to provide treatment recommendations based on the best available evidence. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Although several meta-analyses have been performed to compare total disc replacement (TDR) and fusion for treating cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD), their findings are inconsistent. METHODS Multiple databases were comprehensively searched for meta-analyses comparing TDR with fusion for treating CDDD. The meta-analyses that comprised only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. Two authors independently assessed the meta-analysis study quality and extracted the data. The Jadad decision algorithm was used to ascertain which meta-analysis studies represented the best evidence. RESULTS A total of 14 meta-analysis studies were included. All these studies only included RCTs and were determined as Level-II evidence. CONCLUSIONS Cervical disc arthroplasty was superior compared to anterior discectomy and fusion for the treatment of symptomatic cervical disc disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anterior cervical discectomy, with or without interbody fusion, is a common technique to treat cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). To date, controversy still exists among spine surgeons regarding the anterior surgical approach to be used for the treatment of multilevel CSM. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF), cervical total disc replacement (CTDR), and hybrid surgery (HS) in the treatment of multilevel CSM. STUDY DESIGN Network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomized or nonrandomized controlled studies for the treatment of multilevel CSM. METHODS The databases such as PubMed, CENTRAL, and EMBASE were used to search and identify the clinical trials involving the evaluations for the treatment of multilevel CSM. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used for the assessment of methodological qualities, whereas the Cochrane Collaboration tool was used for assessing the risk of bias. Outcome assessments included duration of surgery, Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores, and complications. Odds ratio was used to express dichotomous outcomes, whereas mean difference with a 95% confidence interval was used to express continuous outcomes. RESULTS Sixteen relevant studies were identified, and 1,639 patients were included in this analysis. CTDR demonstrated a prominently decreased NDI score and total incidence of complications compared with ACDF, ACCF, and HS. In addition, ACDF resulted in shorter operation times compared with ACCF, CTDR, and HS. The ranked order of NDI score improvement in decreasing order was: CTDR, HS, ACDF, followed by ACCF. The rank order for reduction in operation time increased progressively from ACDF, HS, ACCF to CTDR. The total incidence of complications also showed a decreasing trend in the decreasing order-CTDR, ACDF, HS, ACCF, and finally CTDR with the lowest complication rate. LIMITATIONS The limitations of this NMA include inconformity of the follow-up times and surgical skill, and implants of different treatment centers vary. CONCLUSIONS The analysis of this study has shown that the best method for improvement of functional outcome and reduction in total incidence of complications for multilevel CSM is CTDR. KEY WORDS Multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion, cervical total disc replacement, hybrid surgery, effectiveness, safety, network meta-analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lumbar fusion is considered to the gold standard for treatment of spinal degenerative diseases but results in adjacent segment degeneration and acquired spinal instability. Total disc replacement is a relatively new alternative avoiding the occurrence of the above complications. The systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to evaluate whether total disc replacement exhibited better outcomes and safety. METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure Database(CNKI), Wangfang database, and VIP database were searched for RCTs comparing total disc replacement with lumbar fusion. All statistical analyses were carried out using the RevMan5.3 and STATA12.0 software. RESULTS Of 1116 citations identified by our search strategy, 14 RCTs met the inclusion criteria. Compared to lumbar fusion, total disc replacement significantly improved ODI, VAS, SF-36, patient satisfaction, overall success, reoperation rate, ODI successful, reduced operation time, shortened duration of hospitalization, decreased postsurgical complications. However, total disc replacement did not show a significant difference regarding blood loss, consumption of analgesics, neurologic success and device success with lumbar fusion. And charges were significantly lower for total disc replacement compared with lumbar fusion in the 1-level patient group, while charges were similar in the 2-level group. CONCLUSION Total disc replacement is recommended to alleviate the pain of degenerative lumbar diseases, improve the state of lumbar function and the quality of life of patients, provide a high level of security, have better health economics benefits for 1-level patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies showed encouraging results after total disc replacement (TDR) in patients with cervical-brachial syndrome (CBS). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to supplement the existing documentation of results after total disc replacement and to underline the importance of the correct indication. METHODS The clinical and radiological outcome of 34 patients was evaluated in a 2-year follow-up by several parameters as the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and the Kellgren and Lawrence Score. RESULTS The median values for NDI changed from 65% (20-90) before surgery to 20% (0-86) 2 years after surgery (p< 0.0001). Pain intensity had an average rate of reduction from 8.4 ± 2 cm (VAS scale 0-10 cm) to 2.9 ± 2 cm (p< 0.0001). A median of 1 (0-3) was calculated for the Kellgren and Lawrence Score in the affected segment preoperatively. Due to loosening in five cases the TDR was removed and changed into anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF). In all of these five cases a preoperative Kellgren and Lawrence Score of 2 or 3 was calculated and five of five patients (100%) were smokers. CONCLUSION The use of TDR in nonsmoking patients with a low preoperative Kellgren and Lawrence Score of 0-1 lead to a clinically and radiologically successful outcome.

Abstract
Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is a leading source of chronic low back pain or neck pain, and represents the main cause of long-term disability worldwide. In the aim to relieve pain, total disc replacement (TDR) is a valuable surgical treatment option, but the expected benefit strongly depends on the prosthesis itself. The present contribution is focused on the synthetic mimic of the native IVD in the aim to optimally restore its functional anatomy and biomechanics, and especially its time-dependency. Semi-crystalline polyethylene (PE) materials covering a wide spectrum of the crystallinity are used to propose new designs of TDR. The influence of the crystallinity on various features of the time-dependent mechanical response of the PE materials is reported over a large strain range by means of dynamic mechanical thermo-analysis and video-controlled tensile mechanical tests. The connection of the stiffness and the yield strength with the microstructure is reported in the aim to propose a model predicting the crystallinity dependency of the response variation with the frequency. New designs of TDR are proposed and implemented into an accurate computational model of a cervical spine segment in order to simulate the biomechanical response under physiological conditions. Predicted in-silico motions are found in excellent agreement with experimental data extracted from published in-vitro studies under compression and different neck movements, namely, rotation, flexion/extension and lateral bending. The simulation results are also criticized by analyzing the local stresses and the predicted biomechanical responses provided by the different prosthetic solutions in terms of time-dependency manifested by the hysteretic behavior under a cyclic movement and the frequency effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical degenerative disc disease is a multifactorial condition that begins with deterioration of the intervertebral disc and results in further degeneration within the spine involving the facet joints and ligaments. This health technology assessment examined the effectiveness, safety, durability, and cost-effectiveness of cervical artificial disc replacement (C-ADR) versus fusion for treating cervical degenerative disc disease. METHODS We performed a systematic literature search of the clinical evidence comparing C-ADR with fusion. We assessed the risk of bias in each study and the quality of the body of evidence according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) Working Group criteria. We performed a systematic review of the economic literature and assessed the cost-effectiveness of C-ADR compared with fusion. We also estimated the budget impact of publicly funding C-ADR in Ontario over the next 5 years. To contextualize the potential value of C-ADR, we spoke with people with cervical degenerative disc disease. RESULTS Eight studies of C-ADR for one-level cervical degenerative disc disease and two studies of C-ADR for two-level disease satisfied the criterion of statistical noninferiority compared with fusion on the primary outcome of 2-year overall treatment success (GRADE: Moderate). In two studies of C-ADR for two-level disease, C-ADR was statistically superior to fusion surgery for the same primary outcome (GRADE: Moderate). C-ADR was also noninferior to fusion for perioperative outcomes (e.g., operative time, blood loss), patient satisfaction, and health-related quality of life (GRADE: Moderate). C-ADR was superior to fusion for recovery and return to work, had higher technical success, and had lower rates of re-operation at the index site (GRADE: Moderate). C-ADR also maintained motion at the index-treated cervical level (GRADE: Moderate), but evidence was insufficient to determine if adjacent-level surgery rates differed between C-ADR and fusion. Current evidence is also insufficient to determine the long-term durability of C-ADR.The primary economic analysis shows that C-ADR is likely to be cost-effective compared with fusion for both one-level ($11,607/quality-adjusted life-year [QALY]) and two-level ($16,782/QALY) degeneration. Various sensitivity and scenario analyses confirm the robustness of the results. The current uptake for one-level and two-level C-ADR in Ontario is about 8% of the total eligible. For one-level involvement, the estimated net budget impact increases from $7,243 (18 procedures) in the first year to $395,623 (196 procedures) in the fifth year following public funding, for a total budget impact over 5 years of $916,326. For two-level involvement, the corresponding values are $5,460 (7 procedures) in the first year and $283,689 (76 procedures) in the fifth year, for an estimated total budget impact of $705,628 over 5 years.People with cervical degenerative disc disease reported that symptoms of pain and numbness can have a negative impact on their quality of life. People with whom we spoke had tried a variety of treatments with minor success; surgery was perceived as the most effective and permanent solution. Those who had undergone C-ADR spoke positively of its impact on their quality of life and ability to move their neck after surgery. The limited availability of C-ADR in Ontario was viewed as a barrier to receiving this treatment. CONCLUSIONS For carefully selected patients with cervical degenerative disc disease, C-ADR provides patient-important and statistically significant reductions in pain and disability. Further, unlike fusion, C-ADR allows people to maintain relatively normal cervical spine motion.Compared with fusion, C-ADR appears to represent good value for money for adults with one-level cervical degenerative disc disease ($11,607/QALY) and for adults with two-level disease ($16,782/QALY). In Ontario, publicly funding C-ADR could result in total additional costs of $916,326 for one-level procedures and $705,628 for two-level procedures over the next 5 years.People with whom we spoke who had undergone C-ADR surgery spoke positively of its impact on their quality of life and ability to move their neck after surgery. The limited availability of C-ADR in Ontario was viewed as a barrier to receiving this treatment.

Abstract
Purpose To systematically compare the efficacy and safety of lumbar total disc replacement (TDR) with the efficacy and safety of anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) for the treatment of lumbar degenerative disc disease (LDDD). Methods The electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library were searched for the period from the establishment of the databases to March 2018. The peer-reviewed articles that investigate the safety and efficacy of TDR and ALIF were retrieved under the given search terms. Quality assessment must be done independently by two authors according to each item of criterion. The statistical analyses were performed using RevMan (version 5.3) and Stata (version 14.0). The random-effect model was carried out to pool the data. The I2 statistic was used to evaluate heterogeneity. The sensitivity analysis was carried out to assess the robustness of the results of meta-analyses by omitting the articles one by one. Results Six studies (5 randomized controlled trials (RCT) and 1 observational study) involving 1093 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The risk of bias of the studies could be considered as low to moderate. Operative time (MD = 4.95; 95% CI -18.91–28.81; P = 0.68), intraoperative blood loss (MD = 4.95; 95% CI -18.91–28.81; P = 0.68), hospital stay (MD = -0.33; 95% CI, -0.67–0.01; P = 0.05), complications (RR = 0.96; 95% CI 0.91–1.02; P = 0.18) and re-operation rate (RR = 0.54; 95% CI 0.14–2.12; P = 0.38) were without significant clinical difference between groups. Patients in the TDR group had higher postoperative satisfaction (RR = 1.19; 95% CI 1.07–1.32; P = 0.001) and, better improvements in ODI (MD = -10.99; 95% CI -21.50- -0.48; P = 0.04), VAS (MD = -10.56; 95% CI -19.99- -1.13; P = 0.03) and postoperative lumbar mobility than did patients in the ALIF group. Conclusions The results showed that TDR has significant superiority in term of reduced clinical symptoms, improved physical function and preserved range of motion for the treatment of LDDD compared to ALIF. TDR may be an ideal alternative for the selected patients with LDDD in the short-term. However, the results of this study cannot suggest the use of TDR instead of ALIF in lumbar spine treatment only in the light of short term results. More studies that are well-designed, that are of high-quality and that have larger samples are needed to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of TDR with at the long-term follow-up.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Post-hoc analysis of 5-year follow-up data from a randomized, multicenter trial. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of progression in radiographic adjacent-level degeneration (ΔALD) from preoperative assessment to 5 years after total disc replacement (TDR) and the relationship of these changes with range of motion and clinical adjacent-level disease. A secondary objective was to compare adjacent-level degeneration (ALD) outcomes between TDR and fusion. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Fusion is associated with high rates of ALD in symptomatic lumbar disc degeneration. TDR may reduce this risk. METHODS In total, 175 patients with single-level, symptomatic, lumbar disc degeneration who had received activL or ProDisc-L and had a preoperative and 5-year postoperative radiograph available were included. Over 5-year follow-up, ΔALD was defined as an increase in ALD of ≥1 grade and clinical ALD was defined as surgical treatment at the level adjacent to an index TDR. Matching-adjusted indirect comparisons were conducted to compare ALD outcomes after TDR (current trial) with those after fusion (published trial). RESULTS At 5-year follow-up, 9.7% (17/175) of TDR patients had ΔALD at the superior level. In patients with preoperative ALD at the superior level, most (88% [23/26]) showed no radiographic progression over 5 years. The rate of clinical ALD was 2.3% (4/175) and none of these patients had ALD at baseline. For each degree of range of motion gained at the TDR level, there was a consistent decrease in the percentage of patients with ΔALD. After matching and adjustment of baseline characteristics, TDR had a significantly lower likelihood of ΔALD than fusion (odds ratio 0.32; 95% confidence interval 0.13, 0.76). CONCLUSION The rates of ΔALD and clinical ALD in this TDR population were similar to those previously reported in the literature for TDR at 5-year follow-up. TDR had a significantly lower rate of ΔALD than fusion. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3.

Abstract
This paper presents an automatic detection system for the degenerative disc and simulates the artificial disc replacement surgery in the spine. It starts by visualizing the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) in three views and then identifies regions for the lumber or sacral, followed by applying an adaptive threshold and modified region growing techniques to separate the spine from the surrounding tissues, organs, and bones. Then, segment each vertebral in the spine using K-means clustering algorithm. Then, the distance of intervertebral space was computed to detect the degenerative disk automatically in the lumbar region. Finally, the replacement surgery simulation occurred to design the disc with exact dimensions and identifies the appropriate place that will be implanted in the spine. The proposed system was tested on ten 3D computed tomography (CT) images downloaded from the Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). It was accessible to implant the artificial disk instead of the degenerative disk in the space that was specified automatically by the proposed system. The experimental outcomes positively demonstrate that the intended system is efficacious in the detection of degenerative disc and replacement of artificial disc simulation.

Abstract
We studied pain, neurological, and functional outcomes of one and two-levels cervical arthroplasties using a semi-constrained prosthesis for symptomatic cervical degenerative discopathies. Retrospective analysis of 95 patients in a multicentric registry over 2 years FU. Implant-related complications, subsequent surgery and neurological deterioration were not observed. After two years, improvement of > 20% of the NDI was observed in 81.8%, of > 20% of the neck pain in 75.5% and of 20% in arm pain in 77.6%. A > 15% QOL improvement (SF 36 questionnaire) was recorded in 76.5% (physical) and in 77,6% (mental). Greater benefits of cervical arthroplasty were observed in patients under 50 without previous surgeries and with preoperative NDI > 30%, confirming a safe and effective technique.

Abstract
Aims The aim of this study was to determine how the short- and medium- to long-term outcome measures after total disc replacement (TDR) compare with those of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), using a systematic review and meta-analysis. Patients and Methods Databases including Medline, Embase, and Scopus were searched. Inclusion criteria involved prospective randomized control trials (RCTs) reporting the surgical treatment of patients with symptomatic degenerative cervical disc disease. Two independent investigators extracted the data. The strength of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria. The primary outcome measures were overall and neurological success, and these were included in the meta-analysis. Standardized patient-reported outcomes, including the incidence of further surgery and adjacent segment disease, were summarized and discussed. Results A total of 22 papers published from 14 RCTs were included, representing 3160 patients with follow-up of up to ten years. Meta-analysis indicated that TDR is superior to ACDF at two years and between four and seven years. In the short-term, patients who underwent TDR had better patient-reported outcomes than those who underwent ACDF, but at two years this was typically not significant. Results between four and seven years showed significant differences in Neck Disability Index (NDI), 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) physical component scores, dysphagia, and satisfaction, all favouring TDR. Most trials found significantly less adjacent segment disease after TDR at both two years (short-term) and between four and seven years (medium- to long-term). Conclusion TDR is as effective as ACDF and superior for some outcomes. Disc replacement reduces the risk of adjacent segment disease. Continued uncertainty remains about degeneration of the prosthesis. Long-term surveillance of patients who undergo TDR may allow its routine use. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2018;100-B:991-1001.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to comprehensively compare the clinical and biomechanical efficiency of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with anterior cervical disc replacement (ACDR) for treatment of multilevel cervical disc disease using a meta-analysis and systematical review. METHODS A literature search was performed using PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library for articles published between January 1960 and December 2017. Both clinical and biomechanical parameters were analyzed. Statistical tests were conducted by Revman 5.3. Nineteen studies including 10 clinical studies and 9 biomechanical studies were filtered out. RESULTS The pooled results for clinical efficiency showed that no significant difference was observed in blood loss (P = 0.09; mean difference [MD], 7.38; confidence interval [CI], -1.16 to 15.91), hospital stay (P = 0.33; MD, -0.25; CI, -0.76 to 0.26), Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores (P = 0.63; MD, -0.11; CI, -0.57 to 0.34), visual analog scale (P = 0.08; MD, -0.50; CI, -1.06 to 0.05), and Neck Disability Index (P = 0.33; MD, -0.55; CI, -1.65 to 0.56) between the 2 groups. Compared with ACDF, ACDR did show increased surgical time (P = 0.03; MD, 31.42; CI, 2.71-60.14). On the other hand, ACDR showed increased index range of motion (ROM) (P < 0.00001; MD, 13.83; CI, 9.28-18.39), lower rates of adjacent segment disease (ASD) (P = 0.001; odds ratio [OR], 0.27; CI, 0.13-0.59), complications (P = 0.006; OR, 0.62; CI, 0.45-0.87), and rate of subsequent surgery (P < 0.00001; OR, 0.25; CI, 0.14-0.44). As for biomechanical performance, ACDR maintained index ROM and avoided compensation in adjacent ROM and tissue pressure. CONCLUSIONS Multilevel ACDR may be an effective and safe alternative to ACDF in terms of clinical and biomechanical performance. However, further multicenter and prospective studies should be conducted to obtain a stronger and more reliable conclusion.

Abstract
To compare the effectiveness of total disk replacement (TDR), anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), and laminoplasty on atypical symptoms of cervical spondylosis.Patients with confirmed diagnosis of cervical spondylosis and reported atypical symptoms such as blurred vision, headache, nausea, palpitation, tinnitus, vertigo, hypomnesia, and abdominal discomfort were retrospectively included in the present study. They were treated with TDR, ACDF, or laminoplasty depending on the etiology and patient preference. Severity of the atypical symptoms before the surgery and at the end of 2-year follow-up was recorded and the degree of severity alleviation was compared between different surgical approaches.A total number of 336 patients who were treated in our institute from February 2002 to March 2011 were included in the final analysis. Atypical symptoms were significantly alleviated in most patients after surgical intervention. No significant differences were found regarding the change of severity of those symptoms among patients in different surgery groups.TDR, ACDF, and laminoplasty can equally alleviate the severity of atypical symptoms in patients with cervical spondylosis. This indicates that the neural network in the posterior longitudinal ligament may not be the cause of atypical symptoms in patients with cervical spondylosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the current surgical therapeutic regimen for symptomatic cervical degenerative disc disease, both anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and anterior cervical disc replacement (ACDR) are still widely accepted. However, many complications exist in both surgeries. Therefore, this study aims to compare the adverse events between ACDR and ACDF, and provide vital evidence-based guidance for spine surgeons and designers to evaluation of prognosis and improvement of dynamic devices. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis that will be performed according to the PRISMA. The electric database of PubMed, Medline, Embase, Google Scholar, and Cochrane library will be systematic search. A standard data form will be used to extract the data of included studies. We will assess the studies according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions, and perform analysis in RevMan 5.3 software. Fixed effects models will be used for homogeneity data, while random-effects will be used for heterogeneity data. The overall effect sizes will be determined as weighted mean difference (WMD) for continuous outcomes and relative risk (RR) for dichotomous outcomes. RESULT The results of this study will be disseminated via international or national conferences, or submit to peer-reviewed journal in spinal field. CONCLUSION The conclusion of this study will provide key evidence-based guidance for spine surgeons and designers to the evaluation of prognosis and improvement of dynamic devices.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A prospective study. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and patient outcomes post combined total disc arthroplasty (TDA) and anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), known as hybrid surgery for the treatment of multilevel symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Class I studies comparing the treatment of one-level lumbar DDD with TDA and ALIF have confirmed the effectiveness of those treatments through clinical and patient outcomes. Although the success of single-level disease is well documented, the evidence relating to the treatment of multilevel DDD with these modalities is emerging. With the evolution of the TDA technology, a combined approach to multilevel disease has developed in the form of the hybrid procedure. METHODS A total of 617 patients underwent hybrid surgery for chronic back pain between July 1998 and February 2012. Visual Analog Pain Scale for the back and leg were recorded along with the Oswestry Disability Index and Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire. RESULTS Both statistically and clinically significant (p < 0.005) reductions were seen in back and leg pain, which were sustained for at least 8 years postsurgery. In addition, significant improvements (P < 0.001) in self-rated disability and function were also maintained for at least 8 years. Patient satisfaction was rated as good or excellent in >90% of cases. CONCLUSION The results of this research indicate that improvements in both back and leg pain and function can be achieved using the hybrid lumbar reconstructive technique. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total disc replacement (TDR) using Mobi-C cervical artificial disc might be promising to treat symptomatic degenerative disc disease. However, the results remained controversial. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of Mobi-C cervical artificial disc and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in patients with symptomatic degenerative disc disease. METHODS PubMed, EMbase, Web of science, EBSCO, and Cochrane library databases were systematically searched. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effect of Mobi-C versus ACDF on the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease were included. Two investigators independently searched articles, extracted data, and assessed the quality of included studies. The primary outcomes were neck disability index (NDI) score, patient satisfaction, and subsequent surgical intervention. Meta-analysis was performed using the random-effect model. RESULTS Four RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, compared with ACDF surgery for symptomatic degenerative disc disease, TDR using Mobi-C was associated with a significantly increased NDI score (Std. mean difference = 0.32; 95% CI = 0.10-0.53; P = .004), patient satisfaction (odds risk [OR] = 2.75; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.43-5.27; P = .002), and reduced subsequent surgical intervention (OR = 0.20; 95% CI = 0.11-0.37; P < .001). Mobi-C was found to produce comparable neurological deterioration (OR = 0.77; 95% CI = 0.35-1.72; P = .53), radiographic success (OR = 1.18; 95% CI = 0.39-3.59; P = .77), and overall success (OR = 2.13; 95% CI = 0.80-5.70; P = .13) compared with ACDF treatment. CONCLUSION Among the 4 included RCTs, 3 articles were studying patients with 1 surgical level, and 1 article reported 2 surgical levels. When compared with ACDF surgery in symptomatic degenerative disc disease, TDR using Mobi-C cervical artificial disc resulted in a significantly improved NDI score, patient satisfaction, and reduced subsequent surgical intervention. There was no significant difference of neurological deterioration, radiographic success, and overall success between TDR using Mobi-C cervical artificial disc versus ACDF surgery. TDR using Mobi-C cervical artificial disc should be recommended for the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease.

Abstract
Various modified instruments are used for the anterior reconstruction of the tumor lesion affecting the second cervical vertebra, but there have been no reports regarding individual integrated artificial axis (IAA) prosthesis fabricated by selective laser melting. In the present work, a new type of IAA prosthesis has been designed with a 3-dimensional (3D) finite element model of normal occiput-the fourth cervical vertebra being established to assess its biomechanics. For easy comparison, another 3D finite element model is also established for the T-shaped Harms cage and an additional posterior fixation was performed on each model. The models are tested under a preliminary loading of 40 N to simulate cervical physical action including flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation. Under various loads from 4 different directions, the maximum stress and displacement of the IAA are less than those of the modified T-shaped Harms cage. Except for flexion, the maximum stress of the third cervical vertebra endplate of the IAA is smaller than that of the modified T-shaped Harms cage. The new prosthesis with axis is a good choice for upper cervical operation, which not only can greatly increase the operation stability of the upper cervical segment but also could significantly reduce the risk of fixation failure due to Harms cage subsidence.

Abstract
Background To investigate the efficacy of adding supplemental fusion or arthroplasty after cervical anterior discectomy for symptomatic mono-level cervical degenerative disease (radiculopathy), which has not been substantiated in controlled trials until now. Methods A randomized controlled trial is reported with 9 years follow up comparing anterior cervical anterior discectomy without fusion, with fusion by cage standalone, or with disc prosthesis. Patients suffering from symptomatic cervical disk degeneration at one level referred to spinal sections of department of neurosurgery or orthopedic surgery of a large general hospital with educational facilities were eligible. Neck Disability Index (NDI), McGill Pain Questionnaire Dutch language version (MPQ-DLV), physical-component summary (PCS), and mental-component summary (MCS) of the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and re operation rate were evaluated. Findings 142 patients between 18 and 55 years were allocated. The median follow-up was 8.9±1.9 years (5.6 to 12.2 years). The response rate at last follow-up was 98.5%. NDI at the last follow-up did not differ between the three treatment groups, nor did the secondary outcomes as MPQ-DLV and PCS or MCS from SF-36. The major improvement occurred within the first 6 weeks after surgery. Afterward, it remained stable. Eleven patients underwent surgery for recurrent symptoms and signs due to nerve root compression at the index or adjacent level. Conclusions This randomized trial could not detect a difference between three surgical modalities for treating a single-level degenerative disk disease. Anterior cervical discectomy without implant seems to be similar to anterior cervical discectomy with fusion by cage stand-alone or with disk prosthesis. Due to the small study sample size, this statement should be considered as inconclusive so far. Trial registration ISRCTN41681847

Abstract
Cervical degenerative disease is one of the most common spinal disorders worldwide, especially in older people. Anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) is a useful method for the surgical treatment of multi-level cervical degenerative disease. Anterior cervical disc replacement (ACDR) is considered as an alternative surgical method. However, both methods have drawbacks, particularly the neck motion decrease observed after arthrodesis, and arthroplasty should only be performed on patients presenting with cervical disc disease but without any vertebral body disease. Therefore, we designed a non-fusion cervical joint system, namely an artificial cervical vertebra and intervertebral complex (ACVC), to provide a novel treatment for multi-level cervical degenerative disease. To enhance the long-term stability of ACVC, we applied a hydroxyapatite (HA) biocoating on the surface of the artificial joint. Thirty-two goats were randomly divided into four groups: a sham control group, an ACVC group, an ACVC-HA group, and an ACCF group (titanium and plate fixation group). We performed the prosthesis implantation in our previously established goat model. We compared the clinical, radiological, biomechanical, and histological outcomes among these four different groups for 24 weeks post surgery. The goats successfully tolerated the entire experimental procedure. The kinematics data for the ACVC and ACVC-HA groups were similar. The range of motion (ROM) in adjacent level increased after ACCF but was not altered after ACVC or ACVC-HA implantation. Compared with the control group, no significant difference was found in ROM and neutral zone (NZ) in flexion-extension or lateral bending for the ACVC and ACVC-HA groups, whereas the ROM and NZ in rotation were significantly greater. Compared with the ACCF group, the ROM and NZ significantly increased in all directions. Overall, stiffness was significantly decreased in the ACVC and ACVC-HA groups compared with the control group and the ACCF group. Similar results were found after a fatigue test of 5,000 repetitions of axial rotation. The histological results showed more new bone formation and better bone implant contact in the ACVC-HA group than the ACVC group. Goat is an excellent animal model for cervical spine biomechanical study. Compared with the intact state and the ACCF group, ACVC could provide immediate stability and preserve segmental movement after discectomy and corpectomy. Besides, HA biocoating provide a better bone ingrowth, which is essential for long-term stability. In conclusion, ACVC-HA brings new insight to treat cervical degenerative disease.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN We prospectively evaluated adjacent disc levels after anterior cervical discectomy and arthroplasty (ACDA) using kinematic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and plain functional radiographs. OBJECTIVE ACDA is an established treatment for degenerative cervical disc disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of kinematic MRI for assessing the range of motion (ROM) before and after ACDA compared with plain functional radiographs and to evaluate adjacent degenerative disc disease (aDDD) at mid-term follow-up. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Twenty patients (12 females, 8 males; median age 45.6 ± 6.9 yrs) treated by ACDA (BryanDisc; Medtronic, MN) underwent plain functional radiography and kinematic MRI of the cervical spine at 3 T before and 6 and 24 months after surgery. METHODS A sagittal T2-weighted (T2w) 2D turbo spin echo (TSE) sequence and a 3D T2w dataset with secondary axial reconstruction were acquired. Signal intensity of all nonoperated discs was measured in regions of interest (ROI). Disc heights adjacent to the operated segment were measured. ROM was evaluated and compared with plain functional radiographs. Clinical outcome was evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) for head, neck and radicular pain, and the neck disability index (NDI). RESULTS Mean ROM of the cervical spine on functional plain radiographs was 21.25 ± 8.19°, 22.29 ± 4.82°, and 26.0 ± 6.9° preoperatively and at 6-month and 24-month follow-up, respectively. Mean ROM at MRI was 27.1 ± 6.78°, 29.45 ± 9.51°, and 31.95 ± 9.58°, respectively. There was a good correlation between both techniques. Follow-up examinations demonstrated no signs of progressive degenerative disc disease of adjacent levels. All patients had clinical improvement up to 24 months after surgery. CONCLUSION After ACDA, kinematic MRI allows evaluation of the ROM with excellent correlation to plain functional radiographs. Mid-term follow-up after ACDA is without evidence of progressive DDD of adjacent segments. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Cervical spondylosis and intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration are the most common cause for compression of the spinal cord and/or its roots. Total IVD arthroplasty, as a modern alternative to surgical treatment of IVD degeneration, is gaining popularity in many neurosurgical clinics around the world. Aim - the study aim was to conduct a multicenter analysis of cervical spine arthroplasty with an IVD prosthesis M6-C ('Spinal Kinetics', USA). MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 112 patients (77 males and 35 females). All patients underwent single-level discectomy with implantation of the artificial IVD prosthesis M6-C. The follow-up period was up to 36 months. Dynamic assessment of the prosthesis was based on clinical parameters (pain intensity in the cervical spine and upper extremities (visual analog scale - VAS); quality of life (Neck Disability Index - NDI)); and subjective satisfaction with the results of surgical treatment (Macnab scale) and instrumental data (range of motion in the operated spinal motion segment, degree of heterotopic ossification (McAfee-Suchomel classification), and time course of degenerative changes in the adjacent segments).

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A single-center, prospective comparative study of prospectively collected outcomes, with a minimum 12 months follow-up. OBJECTIVES The primary purpose of the study is to investigate the clinical, functional, and radiological outcomes of cervical total disc replacement (CTDR) in comparison with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in the treatment of single-level cervical disc degenerative disease, prospectively. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA CTDR has recently been an alternative to ACDF in cervical disc degenerative disease to preserve the motion at the treated level. METHODS This study included 34 patients, who underwent either single-level ACDF (n = 17) or single-level CTDR (n = 17) at C3 to C7 level for cervical disc degenerative disease between July 2012 to April 2014 with a minimum of 12 months of follow-up. RESULTS Neck disability index, visual analog scale, and neck-arm pain score showed significant difference between the two groups at final follow-up of 12 months. Modified orthopedic association score and Nurick scale also showed the Japanese significant difference between the two groups at final follow-up of 12 months. Odom criteria were not statistically significant between the two groups at final follow-up. The changes in overall cervical sagittal angle (CSA) were significantly different between the two groups. The segmental angle (SA) was maintained at a significantly higher value in the CTDR group than in the ACDF group during the follow-up period (P < 0.05). The range of motion of the cervical spine and the treated level was well maintained and improved in the CTDR group as compared with ACDF group and showed extremely statistically significant difference between the two groups. CONCLUSION CTDR was found to be a safe, effective, better, and efficient alternative to the traditional ACDF. CTDR using Prestige LP cervical disc provided a statistically significant clinical, functional, and radiological outcomes between the two groups after 1-year follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a tool to determine optimal placement and size for total disk replacements (TDRs) to improve patient outcomes of pain and function. The authors developed a statistical shape model to determine the anatomical variables that influence the placement, function, and outcome of lumbar TDR. A patient-specific finite element analysis model has been developed that is now used prospectively to identify patients suitable for TDR and to create a surgical template to facilitate implant placement to optimize range of motion and clinical outcomes. Patient factors and surgical techniques that determine success regarding function and pain are discussed in this article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine in elderly patients by standard surgical methods is often limited due to severe comorbidities (e.g., cardiopulmonary disease, hypertonia, diabetes). Minimally invasive procedures are more acceptable in this population, since they reduce surgical morbidity and the risk of complications. The percutaneous cement discoplasty (PCD) technique was introduced by the authors to treat dynamic (and angular) instability of the symptomatic lumbar segment by injecting bone cement (polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA) into the disc spaces showing vacuum phenomena via a posterolaterally positioned Jamshidi needle. The aim of this article is to describe the indication, method, and clinical results of PCD. METHOD A total of 81 patients were treated with PCD in a tertiary care referral center over a 6-year period. The current study includes the first group of 47 consecutive patients to complete a pre- and postoperative questionnaire booklet regarding leg and back pain using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) questionnaire. RESULTS A total of 130 discs in these 47 patients were treated with PCD. The majority of patients reported a reduction in their lower back and leg pain (69% and 66%, respectively; p < 0.02) postoperatively. At 6-month follow-up, 61% of patients had a minimum 10-point reduction in their ODI scores (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Elderly patients with symptomatic dynamic foraminal stenosis and vacuum phenomenon in the intervertebral disc are suitable candidates for PCD, particularly if they represent high-risk patients for open surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cervical disc replacement has become an acceptable alternative to anterior cervical fusion for the surgical treatment of cervical spine spondylosis resulting in radiculopathy or myelopathy following anterior discectomy and decompression. This concise overview considers the current state of knowledge regarding the continued debate of the role of cervical disc replacement with an update in light of the latest clinical trial results. METHODS A literature review was performed identifying clinical trials pertaining to the use of cervical disc replacement compared to cervical discectomy and fusion. Single level disease and two level disease were considered. Outcome data from the major clinical trials was reviewed and salient points identified. RESULTS With lengthier follow-up data becoming available, the equivalence of CDR in appropriately selected cases is becoming clear. This is chiefly manifested by reduced re-operation rates and reduced incidence of adjacent level disease in those treated with arthroplasty. CONCLUSION Cervical disc replacement shows emerging equivalence in outcomes compared to the gold standard anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Further longer term results are anticipated to confirm this trend.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the early clinical effects of Activ C cervical disc replacement (ACDR) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in treating single-level cervical spondylosis. METHODS The clinical data of 76 patients with single-level cervical spondylosis underwent surgery from July 2009 to September 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 28 patients were treated with ACDR (ACDR group), including 18 males and 10 females, aged from 32 to 62 years old with an average of (45.2±6.2) years; and 48 patients were treated with ACDF (ACDF group), including 28 males and 20 females, aged from 33 to 60 years old with an average of (45.8±6.4) years. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Japanese Orthopedics Association (JOA) score, Short Form-36 (SF-36), imaging data were used to assess the clinical effects after operation. RESULTS A total of 76 patients were followed up from 6 to 24 months with an average of 13.2 months. VAS of neck pain and brachialgia were improved in all patients after operation (P<0.05), there was no significant difference between two group (P>0.05). Somato-score and psycho-score of SF-36 of two groups were obviously increased (P<0.05), ACDR group was better than that of ACDF group (P<0.05). In ACDR group, there was no significant difference in the range of motion of surgical segments and adjacent segments between preoperative and postoperative (P>0.05); heterotopic ossification around the edge of vertebral body occurred in 1 case on the 6th month after operation, no fusion was found on the 1st year after operation. In ACDF group, the adjacent vertebral disease occurred in 1 case and the patient underwent the reoperation. CONCLUSION Activ C cervical disc replacement can reduce the degeneration of adjacent segments and its early outcomes for the treatment of single-level cervical spondylosis are satisfactory, but the long-term effects still need study.

Abstract
This numerical study aimed to evaluate tissue and implant responses to the hybrid surgery (HS) of cervical artificial disc replacement (C-ADR) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).Four hybrid strategies of two-level C-ADR and ACDF were compared in terms of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) and implant failure.The rotary C-ADR and semirigid ACDF have been extensively used in the multilevel treatment of cervical instability and degeneration, but the constrained mobility at the ACDF segments can induce postoperative ASD problems. Hybrid surgery of C-ADR and ACDF has been an alternative to provide the optimal tradeoff between surgical cost and ASD problems. The biomechanical effects of hybrid strategies warrant thorough investigation for the two-level instrumentation.Based on computed tomography imaging, a nonlinear C2-C7 model was developed and validated by cadaveric and numerical data. Four strategies of inserting the C-ADR and ACDF into the C4-C6 segments were systematically arranged as PP (2 peek cages), AA (2 artificial discs), PA, and AP. The biomechanical behavior of these 4 strategies was evaluated in terms of motion and stresses of discs, facet forces, stresses of C-ADR and ACDF, and C-ADR motion.The constrained mobility of the ACDF segment worsened the kinematic and mechanical demands of the adjacent segments and artificial discs. The C-ADR articulation provided higher mobility than the replaced disc of the intact construct, making it an effective buffer to accommodate the compensated mobility and load from the ACDF segment. Consequently, the ASD progression of the AA construct was most restricted, followed by the PA, AP, and PP construct.The PA strategy is a tradeoff to preserve mobility and reduce cost. The C-ADR of the PA construct preserves the mobility of the C5/C6 segment and shares the transferred motion and loads of the fused C4/C5 segment. The PA construct shows optimal biomechanical results for minimizing ASD and implant failure, whereas the AP strategy is only recommended when cranial degeneration is the major concern.

Abstract
Chronic low back pain is extremelyfrequent and its management is still con troversial among spine physicians. For decades, intervertebral fusion has been considered as the gold- standard. However, non fusion techniques have been developed in order to avoid fusion's complications. Numerous studies have reported satisfactory results of total disc arthro- plasty in the management of lumbar degenerative disc disease. So far it is still dificult to prove the superiority of disc replacement over fusion due to a lack of high level studies. The aim of this work was to try to answers various questions related to that technique which was described twenty years ago.

Abstract
The goal of this article is to assess, using the literature and our own experience, whether surgery is a reasonable option in the management of non-specific or degenerative chronic low back pain. The usual starting points for low back pain are without doubt the intervertebral disc and the facet joints, but the actual etiology is often difficult to determine. Moreover, psychogenic factors may amplify clinical symptoms. In our experience, thorough clinical, psychological, and socioprofessional assessment along with relevant imaging studies, parti- cularly MRI to look for inflammatory disc disease and EOS system to evaluate sagittal balance, leads to surgical indication in only 5 % of the patients with chronic low back pain. In these cases, surgery is aimed at short-circuiting ideally one, but sometimes two, interver- tebral segment by a conventional rigid fixation (arthrodesis), or by more recent non-rigid fixation techniques (disc replacement or interspinous dynamic stabilization). Their preven- tive effect on accelerated degeneration of adjacent segment appears to be moderate at best. The problem is to compare the results of surgical and conservative treatment: The analysis of publications concerning comparative randomized studies and personal studies shows that surgery is useful in only a small proportion of well selected patients with chronic low back pain, compared with physical and cognitive-behavioral management techniques.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate and compare clinical, functional and quality of life (QOL) outcomes after two types of surgical approach for single level cervical disc herniation: anterior cervical discectomy andfusion (ACDF) with cage and cervical artificial disc replacement (C-ADR). METHOD 119 patients with cervical disc herniation underwent surgery from January 2007 to December 2010; 55 patients were included in the study (27 ACDF, 28 C-ADR). We performed: a pre and postoperative clinical evaluation of cervicobrachial pain, motor and sensory deficit in the upper limbs; a functional and QOL evaluation with self assessment scales (VAS, NPNQ, SF-36); a postoperative instrumental evaluation of cervical ROM and pain. Mean follow-up period was 24 months. RESULTS After surgery both groups showed clinical, functional and QOL improvement. No pre and postoperative differences were found between the groups. The postoperative instrumental evaluation showed a globally reduced cervical ROM and a decreased pain threshold in comparison with normal values in both groups. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate the clinical equivalence of the two surgical techniques and the satisfaction of the two groups of patients two years after surgery. Although functional changes persist after surgery they do not affect quality of life.

Abstract
Cervical artificial disc replacement (C-ADR) is now an alternative to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Many studies have evaluated the efficacy of C-ADR compared with ACDF. This led to a series of systematic reviews and meta-analyses to evaluate the evidence of the superiority of one intervention against the other. The aim of the study presented here was to evaluate the quality of these reviews and meta-analyses. Medline via Ovid, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched using the keywords: (total disk replacement, prosthesis, implantation, discectomy, and arthroplasty) AND (cervical vertebrae, cervical spine, and spine) AND (systematic reviews, reviews, and meta-analysis). Screening and data extraction were conducted by two reviewers independently. Two reviewers then assessed the quality of the selected reviews and meta-analysis using 11-item AMSTAR score which is a validated measurement tool to assess the methodological quality of systematic reviews. Screening of full reports of 46 relevant abstracts resulted in the selection of 15 systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses as eligible for this study. The two reviewers' inter-rater agreement level was high as indicated by kappa of >0.72. The AMSTAR score of the reviews ranged from 3 to 11. Only one study (a Cochrane review) scored 100% (AMSTAR 11). Five studies scored below (AMSTAR 5) indicating low-quality reviews. The most significant drawbacks of reviews of a score below 5 were not using an extensive search strategy, failure to use the scientific quality of the included studies appropriately in formulating a conclusion, not assessing publication bias, and not reporting the excluded studies. With a significant exception of a Cochrane review, the methodological quality of systematic reviews evaluating the evidence of C-ADR versus ACDF has to be improved.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the midterm clinical and radiologic outcome of percutaneous interspinous process spacer (IPS) treatment for neurogenic intermittent claudication (NIC) in patients who fail conservative treatment. METHODS Consecutive patients with NIC, lumbar spinal stenosis confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging, failure of conservative management for at least 6 months, and treatment with percutaneous IPS were included. Visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores were recorded at baseline, 1 month, 1 year and 3 years after treatment. Spinal canal and foraminal cross-sectional areas were calculated from multidetector computed tomography at baseline and 1 year. RESULTS There were 80 patients treated with 94 IPS devices; 83% of patients received a single IPS; 78% of IPS devices were placed at L4-L5. An IPS dislocation was the single periprocedural major complication. VAS score of 8.1 ± 2 before treatment was reduced to 4.4 ± 2 at 1 month after treatment (P = .0001); ODI score of 23.3 ± 10 before treatment was reduced to 11.7 ± 8.5 at 1 month after treatment (P = .0001). These significant reductions were durable at 1-year and 3-year follow-up evaluations (P < .01). Spinal canal and foraminal cross-sectional area increased by 15% at 1 year (P = .0001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with NIC who failed conservative treatment and were treated with percutaneous IPS achieved significant gains in pain relief and reduced disability that remained durable at 3-year clinical follow-up evaluation. This outcome was accompanied by significant increases in spinal canal and foraminal cross-sectional areas at the treated level.

Abstract
PURPOSE Controlled trials have shown that total disc replacement (TDR) can provide pain and disability relief to patients with degenerative disc disease; however, whether these outcomes can also be achieved for patients treated in normal surgical practice has not been well documented. METHODS This prospective, international study observed changes in disability and back pain in 134 patients who were implanted with Maverick TDR within the framework of routine clinical practice and followed for 2 years post-surgery. Primary and secondary outcomes were the differences from baseline to 6 months post-surgery in the means of the Oswestry Disability Index and the change in back pain intensity assessed on a 10-cm visual analogue scale, respectively. Mean patient age at surgery was 43 years, but ranged up to 65 years. RESULTS One hundred twenty-three patients had an implant at one level, 10 patients at two levels, and one patient at three levels. Statistically significant improvements in mean disability (-25.4) and low back pain intensity (-4.0) scores were observed at 6 months postoperatively (P < 0.0001 for both) in the hands of experienced surgeons (>10 TDRs per centre). During the study, 56 patients (42 %) experienced a complication or adverse event. CONCLUSIONS This is the first international observational study to report outcomes of TDR in real-world clinical settings. We showed statistically significant improvements in disability and pain scores at 6 months following Maverick TDR, which were maintained for 2 years alongside an acceptable rate of perioperative complications. The safety and tolerability shown in this observational study were comparable to those from controlled trials.
