ACDF with standalone PEEK cages showed comparable clinical outcomes to ACP fixation, with no significant intergroup differences.
Operation times and blood loss were significantly less in the PEEK group, indicating potential surgical advantages for patients.
Both groups had significant improvements in pain and function scores post-surgery, demonstrating effectiveness in treatment.
Despite similar fusion rates, the PEEK group faced higher rates of cervical lordosis loss and cage subsidence, raising concerns about long-term outcomes.
