Comparison of 1-Level vs 2-Level Prodisc Arthroplasty
Comparison of 1-Level vs 2-Level Prodisc Arthroplasty
In our study we compared the results of 1- versus 2-level disc replacement patients with a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Our results revealed no significant difference between 1-level disc replacement and 2-level disc replacement. In evaluating clinical outcomes, the 2-level patients presented with better outcomes than 1-level patients at 5-year follow-up, although the difference was not statistically significant. Future studies with longer-term follow-up are needed to verify these results.
