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 of 19.34 ± 7.86 months were analysed. HU values were measured three times in 3 different planes in the upper and lower vertebrae according to published methods. Subsidence was defined as segmental height loss of more than 3 mm. Pearson correlation analysis was performed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to obtain optimal thresholds. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was also conducted.ResultsTwenty-two patients (34.38%) had evidence of TMC subsidence on follow-up x-ray. The mean HU values in the subsidence group (317.34 ± 32.32, n = 22) were significantly lower than those in the nonsubsidence group (363.07 ± 25.23 n = 42, p |
