Comparison between selective caudal fixed screw construct and all variable screw construct in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion

Abstract This retrospective comparative study aimed to compare the efficacy of selective caudal fixed screw constructs with all variable screw constructs in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Thirty-five patients who underwent surgery using selective caudal fixed screw construct (SF gro...
