Abstract
Background Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion is one of the most common operative treatments of degenerative disease of the cervical spine. Alternative to interbody fusion by way of unanchored bone-graft/cage or bone-graft/cage anchored with a plate is a standalone cage with integrated screws. Main potential benefits of standalone cage with integrated screws are lower incidence of postoperative dysphagia and higher immediate stability; however, outcomes and potential complications after interbody fusion with such cages were not adequately assessed yet.
