Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of Posterior Cervical Fusion Supplemented With Interfacet Spacers

Description

This is a prospective study to assess fusion rates and cervical sagittal parameters following posterior cervical arthrodesis procedures supplemented with CIS. Data will be collected from medical records for up to 730 days after surgery.
