📢 New publication alert!

Anterior Cervical X-Shape-Corpectomy and Fusion (ACXF) Versus Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion (ACCF) for Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy (CSM): A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial by Hong Wang, Kangkang Huang, and Chengyi Huang, et al.

💡This trial demonstrated that ACXF achieved a significantly higher composite success rate than ACCF, largely attributable to lower rates of medical adverse events and implant subsidence. Additionally, ACXF was associated with reduced postoperative drainage volume and shorter drainage duration. These findings suggest that ACXF may represent a safe and effective surgical alternative for appropriately selected patients with CSM.
