Abstract

Patients may occasionally have persistent or recurrent radicular symptoms after cervical artificial disc replacement (ADR) for cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. We describe our approach using anterior cervical foraminotomy (ACF) to provide symptom relief in such patients without the need to convert to a fusion or remove the ADR implant.
