OBJECTIVE: The authors conducted a retrospective study to compare the implantation of @entity505 fiber composite frame cages (CFCFCs) to the implantation of @entity12316 ( @entity12316 ) cages after anterior cervical discectomy for cervical @entity179 . In addition, the predictive factors that influenced fusion or subsidence were investigated. METHODS: A total of 58 @entity1 with single-level @entity179 were treated with anterior cervical discectomy and implantation of stand-alone cages; CFCFCs were used in 35 @entity1 , and PEEK cages were used in 23 @entity1 . Preoperative and postoperative radiological and clinical assessments were performed. RESULTS: During the mean follow-up period of 41 months, fusion occurred in 43 @entity1 (74.1%), and subsidence developed in 18 @entity1 (31.0%). @entity158 decreased in all @entity1 , and the @entity1 ' satisfaction rate was 75.9%. Neither fusion nor subsidence was related to the clinical outcome. There were no significant differences in the clinical and radiological outcomes between the CFCFC and the PEEK cage groups. Smoking history (p=0.023) was significantly associated with @entity1516 , and cage height (>= 7mm) (p=0.037) were significantly associated with subsidence. CONCLUSION: The clinical and radiological results were similar between the CFCFC and the PEEK cage groups. Fusion or subsidence did not affect the clinical outcomes. Smoking history and cage height (>= 7mm) were predictive factors for @entity1516 or subsidence in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with stand-alone cages.
