The predictive value of Hounsfield units for titanium mesh cage subsidence after anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion

ObjectiveTo investigate whether bone mineral density (BMD) measured in Hounsfield units (HUs) correlates with titanium mesh cage (TMC) subsidence after anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF).MethodsA total of 64 patients who underwent one or two levels of ACCF with TMC with a mean follow-up...
