Active Comparator
Bone graft substitute
Autologous Bone
Subjects will receive anterior cervical discectomy with fusion and instrumentation (anterior plate). Structural allograft ring will be used. The cavity of the ring will be filled with P-15 synthetic osteoconductive bone substitute (investigational device).
