Study Design: Retrospective observational study of consecutive patients Objective: The
purpose of the study was to evaluate VBQ as a predictor of interbody subsidence and to …

BACKGROUND: Surgeons can preoperatively assess bone quality using dual-energy X-ray
absorptiometry or computed tomography; however, this is not feasible for all patients …

Introduction Postoperative cage subsidence after Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
(ACDF) often has adverse clinical consequences and is closely related to Bone Mineral …

Objective This is the first study to evaluate the predictive value of the cervical vertebral bone
quality (VBQ) score on zero-profile cage (ZPC) subsidence after anterior cervical discectomy …

OBJECTIVE A consequence of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is graft
subsidence, potentially leading to kyphosis, nonunion, foraminal stenosis, and recurrent …

Purpose The objective of this study was to examine the predictive value of a newly
developed MRI-based Endplate Bone Quality (EBQ) in relation to the development of cage …
