  Objective: Cervical Total Disc Replacement (CTDR) has recently been developed as an alternative to Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) in cervical degenerative disease to preserve the motion at the treated level. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of CTDR by comparing it with ACDF in the treatment ofsingle-level cervical degenerative disease, retrospectively. Methods: This study included 61 patients, who underwent either stand-alone single-level ACDF (n = 33) or singlelevel CTDR (Bryan cervical artificial disc, n = 28) at C3 to C7 for degenerative cervical disease between June 2007 and December 2009. Cervical radiographs were obtained to measure overall and regional cervical angle and Rangeof Motion (ROM). For evaluation for patient’s pain, visual analogue scale and Japanese Orthopedic ..
