Final outcome at 12 months was available in 9 dogs. Five dogs were judged excellent, 1 dog was good, 2 dogs were satisfactory, and 2 dogs were poor because of adjacent segment disease. Four dogs died for reasons unrelated to the procedure. Radiographically, implants remained stable over the entire follow\u2010up period. The disc space continued to fill with an immature pattern of new bone, which showed progressive increase in opacity and quantity. Subsidence of the cage (median 2\u2003mm) was detected in 9 dogs at 6 weeks and remained unchanged in those that could be followed further.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion: <\/jats:bold>
