Cage migration was observed in 15 cages in 12 patients without relevant clinical complaint. There were no postoperative cage extraction or fracture in any of our patients. 79 patients were operated from single distance, 56 patients from 2 distances and 17 patients from 3 distances. Results: The age of the patients ranged from 25 to 80 years. The clinical and radiological outcomes were evaluated at 1st and 3rd months. Materials and method: A total of 176 consecutive patients who had undergone single-or multilevel anterior cervical discectomy with PEEK cage for CDDH from January 2015 to January 2021 were retrospectively evaluated.152 patients (237 PEEK cages) who found to be suitable for the study criteria were included. In this study, we aimed to determine the outcomes of single or multilevel ACDF with polietereterketon (PEEK) cages in 152 patients (a total of 237 cages) with focus on the cage instability in terms of migration and subsidence that may occur in the early postoperative period. In patients who need surgical management anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), is the most accepted and widely performed spinal fusion procedure. The first line management is conservative. Background and aim: Cervical degenerative disc diseases (CDDD) include various degenerative conditions often associated with cervical disc herniations (CDHs) that may result in radiculopathy and/or myelopathy.
