Five-year Outcomes from NuVasive Simplify Cervical Disc Study

Globus Medical presented five-year outcomes from the NuVasive Simplify Cervical Disc study, demonstrating positive long-term clinical outcomes, a high rate of overall composite success at 60 months and statistical superiority to anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) procedural outcomes.

The five-year Simplify Cervical Disc study found:

• Simplify Cervical Disc was statistically superior to the ACDF control in terms of overall composite success at five years
• Statistically significant postoperative improvements in neck disability index (NDI) and visual analog scale (VAS) found at two years were maintained through five years, with the Simplify Cervical Disc group having significantly lower NDI and VAS scores at five years when compared to the ACDF control
• Average disc height and flexion/extension range of motion increased postoperatively in the Simplify Disc group and remained above preoperative levels throughout follow-up
• No device failures were reported in the Simplify Disc group
