Less superior adjacent syndrome and lower reoperation rate. Medium- and long-term results of cervical arthroplasty versus anterior cervical arthrodesis: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.
OBJECTIVE: To compare medium- and long-term postoperative surgical results, especially the adjacent syndrome rate, adverse event rate, and reoperation rate, of patients operated on with cervical arthroplasty or anterior cervical arthrodesis in published randomized clinical trials (RCTs), at one cervical level.
METHODS: Systematic Review and meta-analysis. 13 RCTs were selected. The clinical, radiological and surgical results were analyzed, taking the adjacent syndrome rate and the reoperation rate as the primary objective of the study.
RESULTS: 2963 patients were analyzed. The cervical arthroplasty group showed a lower rate of superior adjacent syndrome (p < 0,001), lower reoperation rate ((p < 0,001), less radicular pain (p = 0,002), and a better score of neck disability index (p = 0,02) and SF-36 physical component (p = 0,01). No significant differences were found in the lower adjacent syndrome rate, adverse event rate, neck pain scale, or SF-36 mental component. A range of motion of 7.91 degrees was also found at final follow-up, and a heterotopic ossification rate of 9.67% in patients with cervical arthroplasty.
CONCLUSION: In the medium and long-term follow-up, cervical arthroplasty showed a lower rate of superior adjacent syndrome and a lower rate of reoperation. No statistically significant differences were found in the rate of inferior adjacent syndrome or in the rate of adverse events.
