Cervical stand-alone PEEK cage versus anchored cage with screws in single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: A prospective cohort study

Conclusions: For one-level ACDF, the anchored cage with screws has some advantage compared to the stand-alone PEEK cage in avoiding dysphagia and restoring disc space height and cervical lordosis. We suggest the anchored spacer may be a good substitute for the stand-alone cage in one-level ACDF. Level of Evidence: Level II
