N1 - Background Common fusion techniques for cervical degenerative diseases include two-level anterior discectomy and fusion and one-level corpectomy and fusion. The aim of the study was to compare via in-vitro biomechanical testing the effects of a two-level anterior discectomy and fusion and a one-level corpectomy and fusion, with anterior plate reconstruction.
