This systematic review found that while various interbody graft techniques like autograft, allograft, and titanium cages are effective for cervical fusion (Class II evidence), routine use is not yet supported by current evidence.

Area of Science:

  • Spine surgery
  • Orthopedic research
  • Evidence-based medicine

Background:

  • Cervical interbody grafting is a common surgical technique.
  • Determining the efficacy of different graft materials and techniques is crucial for patient outcomes.

Framework:

  • Systematic review utilizing National Library of Medicine and Cochrane Database.
  • Evidence grading based on Classes I-III and recommendations strength via Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines network.
  • Peer validation by the Joint Guidelines Committee of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurological Surgeons.

Implementation:

  • Analysis of studies on autograft, allograft, titanium cages, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages, and carbon fiber cages for anterior cervical discectomy with fusion.
  • Evaluation of success rates for 1- or 2-level fusions.

  • Assessment of complication rates, particularly with recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2.

    • Implications:

    • Class II evidence supports autograft, allograft, and titanium cages for cervical arthrodesis.
    • Polyetheretherketone and carbon fiber cages show potential but have Class III evidence.
    • Recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 has a higher complication rate compared to standard approaches.
