We undertook a retrospective study of 47 patients treated with anterior cervical discectomy/corpectomy fusion for multi-level cervical spondylosis. Titanium mesh was placed in all patients with (Anterior cervical plate group: n= 25) or without anterior cervical plate (Non-anterior cervical plate group: n= 22)). The study objective was to compare the role of anterior cervical plate on clinical outcome, fusion rates, and complications if any after anterior cervical discectomy/corpectomy. At an average follow up time of 7 months after the surgery, we did not observe any significant difference in clinical outcome as per Odom's score or bony fusion between the two groups (p>0.05). The bony fusion rate was 59.1% and 68.0% with and without ACP respectively. The finding of this study suggests that presence of anterior cervical plate does not contribute to better Odom's score or bony fusion. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajmcr/3/12/6/ajmcr-3-12-6.pdf cervical corpectomy titanium mesh cage anterior cervical plate fusion
