Failure to fuse following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) may result in symptomatic pseudoarthrosis. Traditional diagnosis involves computerized tomography to detect bridging bone and/or flexion-extension radiographs to assess whether segmental motion is above specific thresholds; however, there are currently no well-validated diagnostic tests. We propose a biomechanically rational approach to achieve a reliable diagnostic test for pseudoarthrosis.
