Preliminary 12-Month Safety and Efficacy Outcomes for the Treatment of Cervical Radiculopathy and Myelopathy with the STALIF C Integrated Interbody Fusion Device

Abstract

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been widely utilized as the workhorse approach for the surgical treatment of cervical degenerative pathology. Minimal high-level evidence data exists on the efficacy and safety of integrated cage-screw implants. A prospective, non-randomized clinical study utilizing STALIF C-Ti® integrated cage-screw implants was performed in 145 patients. 12-month outcome scores demonstrated significant improvements in all patient reported outcome scores collected (p<0.05 for all), including NDI, VAS neck, VAS left arm, and VAS right arm. Patients receiving STALIF C-Ti integrated cage-screw implants demonstrated significant improvements in clinical outcome scores with minimal overall complication rate.
