History of Prior Lumbar Surgery Does Not Impact Mental Health Outcomes Following Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
Conclusions:
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion patients with a past history of lumbar surgery demonstrated significant improvements in depression, neck and arm pain, disability, and physical function as those without a past lumbar surgical history. Prior surgery also did not impact MCID achievement for all outcomes.
