Radiographic changes after anterior body fusion of the cervical spine were analyzed in 51 cases with a mean follow-up period of 2.4 years. Thirty-five males and sixteen females were included. Lordosis was not related to the period of follow-up. Kyphosis tended to be reduced after cervical anterior body fusion. In the upper adjacent disc of the cervical spine, the disc height and range of motion tended to be greater than in the lower adjacent disc. In this study radiographic changes were not related to clinical findings.
