Radiographic Analysis: 110 Consecutive ACDF Procedures Utilizing Novel Growth-factor Allograft
Author(s): Samuel Joseph*
Introduction: Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) procedures are a staple for addressing persistent pain and radiculopathy associated
with of the degeneration, herniation and/or failure of interbody nucleus propulsi. Autograft arguably remains the gold standard after facing stiff
competition from recombinant biologic alternatives that provided supra-physiologic quantities of singular growth factor to support bony remodeling.
The alternative, novel allograft growth factor used in this series, provides the full complement of growth factors available from the native donor
tissue many shown to play integral roles related to specific cascades involved with bony remodeling. Serial radiography is retrospectively assessed
for efficacy is supporting fusion.
Methods: An Institutional Review Board was consulted and a waiver.. Read More»
