Summary

This trial tests whether adding a posterior cervical fusion (using the CORUS PCSS 3D device) to the standard anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) improves bone fusion success for people with two-level degenerative disc disease in the neck. About 225 adults with neck or arm pain, numbness, or weakness will be randomly assigned to receive either the combined procedure or ACDF alone. The main goal is to see if the combined approach leads to a higher rate of successful fusion at 12 months after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Circumferential Cervical Fusion (CCF) using CORUS PCSS 3D device and allograft bone matrix, compared to Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) alone
What this could lead to
If successful, this combined surgical approach could offer a more durable fusion solution for patients with two-level cervical degenerative disc disease, potentially reducing the need for repeat surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a surgical trial comparing two procedures; the added posterior fusion may increase operative time and risk without guaranteeing better outcomes. Results are limited to a specific device and patient population.
