Stable Pseudarthrosis: Do Not Return To Play - Dr. Alpesh Patel

Return to play after ACDF remains uncertain with many decisions made by treating physicians based on anecdotal experience rather than evidence. In this debate, I contend that the application of best available evidence to the evaluation of ACDF pseudoarthrosis supports with-holding return to play in high risk sports. #alpeshpatelmd #pseudarthrosis #cervicalspineresearchsociety #CSRS #cervicalspine #spineresearch #spinesurgery #annualmeetingprogram #spinedisease #spinetreatment The Cervical Spine Research Society® is a multidisciplinary organization of individuals interested in clinical and research problems of the cervical spine.
