Abstract Background In patients with spinal cord compression behind the cervical vertebra who presented with myelopathy, one of the treatment modalities is anterior cervical corpectomy followed by insertion of graft or implant. Autogenous bone graft has been the choice of implant for corpectomy in the past, but due to donor site complications, it has been majorly replaced with other implants like titanium made expandable and non-expandable cages. Studies on titanium made implants for cervical compressive myelopathy have mostly focused on expandable cages with separate plates. Studies on hybrid cages and winged expandable titanium cages with (WETC) are lacking, especially in patients with poor Nurick grade. Here, we present clinical outcomes and side effects of WETC use following cervical corpectomy in 81 participants from a tertiary care center from Eastern India with 6 months of follow-up. Results We observed a considerable improvement in clinical outcomes which was measured using Nurick grade as mean scores changed from 4.06 ± 0.85 during the pre-operative stage to 2.85 ± 1.16 post-operation (P |
