The links below represent an entire semester of research.  The title of my manuscript is Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: A Three Year Retrospective.  The focus of this study was to determine which, if any, demographic variables make patients more likely to experience positive outcomes following Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF).   A secondary goal of this study was to determine the if there were any benefits associated with choosing one type of bone grafting material over another (Allograft vs. Autograft).   If you have any comments regarding any of this, e-mail me at MCHixson21@tntech.edu
