This report is being filed after the review of the following journal article: byvaltsev, v.A.Et al (2019), total arthroplasty and anterior cervical discectomy with fixation: long-term results of a randomized clinical trial, hirurgia pozvonochnika, vol.16 (1), pages 48¿56 (russia).The aim of this prospective randomized single-center cohort study was to perform a comparative analysis of the long-term outcomes of total cervical disc arthroplasty (cda) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion in surgical treatment of patients with single-level degenerative diseases of cervical intervertebral discs.A total of 173 patients (109 male and 64 female) were included in the study.They were allocated into 2 groups: patients who had undergone total cda (84 patients; 51 male and 33 female; mean age = 42 years) or acdf (89 patients; 58 male and 31 female; mean age = 45 years).A total of 173 patients were independently sequentially allocated into groups (1:1) using software.Surgery was performed using concorde cage or competitor devices.Duration of the postoperative follow-up period was at least 48 months.The following complications were reported as follows: in the acdf group, a complete fusion was verified in 83 (93.3 %) cases.An unknown number of patients in the acdf group revealed a significantly higher degree of degenerative disease of superjacent intervertebral discs, while no significant degenerative changes were recorded in the subjacent discs.2 patients in the cda group and 8 patients (9%) in the acdf group had a symptomatic degeneration of adjacent segments, and they all underwent reoperations.3 cda patients had symptomatic adverse event effects in the form of heterotopic ossification.6 acdf patients had symptomatic adverse event effects in the form of pseudoarthrosis.3 cda patients had an intraoperative injury to vertebralis (n=1) or laryngeus recurrens (n=2).3 acdf patients had an intraoperative injury to laryngeus recurrens (n=1), esophagus (n=1) or dura mater (n=1).1 cda patient and 1 acdf patient had surgical site infection.1 acdf patient had lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism.This report is for an unknown depuy spine concorde cage.
