Preoperative MRI-based endplate quality: a novel tool for predicting cage subsidence after anterior cervical spine surgery

Abstract 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 subsidence following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Methods Patients undergoing ACDF for degenerative ce...
