Implant was also used adjacent to a fusion with a cage in 35 patients. The diagnosis was cervical degenerative disc disease between C3 and C7 with symptomatic DH. Population was 106 male 143 female, average age 46 (25-71). Clinical assessment included VAS scores for arm and neck pain and Neck Disability Index (NDI).
