Should We Re-Instrument the Originally Fused Level in ACDF Revision for Adjacent Segment Disease?: A Quality Outcomes Database Study
database[Title] 2025-12-16
Summary:
CONCLUSIONS: Given comparable PROMs and reoperation rates, when clinically feasible, surgeons may consider avoiding re-instrumentation of the original ACDF fusion, opting for a more conservative single-level revision to minimize the negative risks/complications associated with increased perioperative blood loss, operative time, and length of stay.
