In this first large registry study comparing pDFFx and nDFFx, we find similar outcomes between these groups in the first 30 days after surgery. Patients with pDFFx did have higher rates of surgical site complications, including infection and dehiscence. In pDFFx patients, those undergoing DFR were more likely to return home post-operatively.
