In BriefIn this study the authors compare cervical arthroplasty with fusion surgery in a randomized controlled trial using patient-reported outcome measures and MRI after 5 years of follow-up. Because the main purpose of arthroplasties is to prevent adjacent-segment pathology, it is important to investigate if that is actually realized in practice.
简介在这项研究中,作者通过使用患者报告的结果测量和 MRI 进行 5 年随访,在随机对照试验中比较了颈椎关节置换术和融合手术。由于关节置换术的主要目的是预防相邻节段的病变,因此重要的是要调查这在实际上是否得以实现。
