Poor Fusion Rates Following Cervical Corpectomy Reconstructed With an Expandable Cage: Minimum 2-Year Radiographic and Clinical Outcomes.

To our knowledge, this is the largest series (78) with a minimum 2-yr follow-up in the literature and the first using the dynamic radiographic and CT criteria endorsed by the CSRS. Using these criteria, our fusion rates were much lower than all previous reports in the literature. Despite this, patient-reported outcomes were reasonable. There was a relatively low incidence of perioperative complications, most of which were likely not implant-specific and there was only 1 case of implant failure.
