Neck Disability Index
The Neck Disability Index (NDI) has 10 items that cover various aspects of daily functioning, such as pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation. Scoring: Each question contains six answer choices, scored from 0 (no disability) to 5 (complete disability). All section scores are then totaled. Scoring is reported on a 0-50 scale, 0 being the best possible score and 50 being the worst. Alternately, the score can be reported from 0-100. The score is often reported as a percentage (0-100%).
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative
Oswestry Disability Index
The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is used to measure the extent of pain-related functional limitations in people with low back pain. The questionnaire provides the user with information about the general functional ability of a patient with low back pain in everyday life. Six response options are available for the following items: pain intensity, self-care (washing, dressing), lifting, locomotion, sitting or standing, sleeping, sex life, social life and travel/transportation. The first answer option (score 0) means that there are no pain-related restrictions, while the sixth answer option (score 5) indicates the greatest perceived restriction of an activity due to pain.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative
Visual Analogue Scale
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is usually quantified from 0 to 10, where 0 means 'no pain' and 10 means 'strongest pain imaginable'.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative
Radiological assessment
* Implant migration/ Subsidence/ Screw Back-out * Bone Fusion at latest follow-up
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months postoperative, 6 months postoperative, 12 months postoperative, 24 months postoperative
