An illustrative case: A 40-year-old male patient who presented with cervical spondylotic myelopathy was treated by 4-level ACDF using a stand-alone cage. a Preoperative lateral radiograph of the cervical spine. b Disc herniation at C3/4, C4/5, C5/6, and C6/7 confirmed by MRI. c Postoperative radiograph showed the cages were well-positioned and cervical spinal alignment was satisfactory. d Postoperative lateral radiograph of the cervical spine at the last follow-up showing maintenance of cervical alignment and restoration of disc height. e Postoperative MRI at the last follow-up showed thorough decompression of the spinal cord
