Highlights • There are few studies on the incidence of adjacent segment disease (ASD) and heterotopic ossification (HO) in dynamic cervical implant (DCI) surgery. • The rate of HO was 22.4% and 28.2% in the DCI and total disc replacement (TDR) groups, respectively. • The rate of ASD and HO was not significantly different between the DCI and TDR groups. • The cost of hospitalization was much higher in the TDR compared to the DCI group.
