Incidence and risk factors of heterotopic ossification after cervical Baguera C disc arthroplasty
CONCLUSIONS: The HO incidence after CDA was correlated with the residual length of endplate coverage and inferior AREE. Additionally, the AREE and kyphotic postoperative FSU angle in the flexion position were associated with HO grade progression. Patients with HO also showed a trend of lower range of motion at 1 month after surgery. Using an adequately sized implant and encouraging neck motion may help prevent HO development and progression.PMID:38518295 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.SPINE23744
