Abstract: Anterior cervical discectomy and interbody fusion is a common surgical method used for treatment of single or 2 level cervical lesion. Recently, zero-profile implant, which lessened irritation of adjacent structures by preventing the contact with them, was design for anterior cervical fusion, and was assumed that it would reduce the occurrence of adjacent segment disease. Thus, authors compared the occurrence of adjacent segment disease after using conventional plate or zero-profile for anterior cervical interbody fusion.
