Anterior cervical discectomy and decompression fusion (ACDF) was first reported by Albert Dereymaeker and Joseph Cyriel Mulier in 1956. After more than 60 years of exploration and development, the procedure has gradually decreased in difficulty and the patients' postoperative recovery has become more and more difficult, and anterior cervical surgery has become the preferred solution for the treatment of cervical spine diseases. From the early days of simple intervertebral implants, to non-restrictive plate systems requiring bicortical fixation, to restrictive plate systems requiring only single-cortical fixation, and to hybrid locking plate systems, the difficulty of the operation has been gradually reduced, and the patient's recovery has been getting better and better, and anterior cervical spine surgery has gradually become the preferred solution for cervical spine diseases.
However, although ACDF technology has been widely recognised, the traditional nail plate + cage technology has been found to have complications such as loosening and slipping of the anterior plate as an implant, collapse, broken nails and plates, excessive plate length associated with ASD, and postoperative swallowing difficulties after surgery, etc. There is still room for improvement of the product.
Czmeditech has made early preparations in the field of self-stabilizing cervical fusion devices, and will officially launch the insert type self stabilizing cervical fusion device Uni-C in 2025.
