  1. NDI neck disability index, JOA Japanese Orthopedic Association score, ACDF, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, HS hybrid surgery, HS1 one prosthesis and 2 cages, HS2 two prostheses and one cage, Pre-op preoperation, P1 significance between pre-op and 1 week after surgery, P2 significance between pre-op and final follow-up, P3 significance between 1 week after surgery and final follow-up
  2. “Δ1” is the change of variable at 1 week after surgery compared to baseline and “Δ2” is the change of variable at final follow-up compared to baseline
