Key Points

  • This study aims to explore the relationship between lordosis loss at C5–7 and the need for reoperations following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.
  • Analysis of patient outcomes after two-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).
  • Evaluation of sagittal alignment post-surgery.
  • Assessment of rates of subsequent reoperations.
  • Significant sagittal correction was noted post-ACDF.
  • Limited segmental improvement correlated with higher reoperation rates.
  • Achieving sufficient lordosis is crucial for optimal surgical outcomes.

Abstract

C5-C7 ACDF yields significant sagittal correction. However, limited segmental improvement may increase reoperation risk. Achieving sufficient correction is important to optimize outcomes and reduce complications.
