Employment Status for the First Decade Following Randomization to Cervical Disc Arthroplasty Versus Fusion

Conclusion. More patients returned to work at 6 weeks after CDA compared with ACDF, although there was no difference by 6 months. After 2 years, a nonsignificant trend toward higher employment rates in the arthroplasty group was evident, but this difference could not be validated due to the very high rate of loss of patients to the follow-up. Level of Evidence: 2
