ACDF Surgery
ACDF is known for its effectiveness in substantially reducing symptoms
and improving function, leading to high satisfaction rates among
patients. As with any surgical procedure, a thorough discussion
regarding potential risks and expected outcomes is essential for
ensuring informed decision-making and optimal recovery. During ACDF Surgery,
the surgeon accesses the cervical spine through the front of the neck,
excising the problematic disc material that is impinging upon nearby
nerves or the spinal cord. Following the discectomy, the empty disc
space is often filled with a bone graft or an artificial implant to
promote fusion between the adjacent vertebrae. This fusion stabilizes
the spine, preventing further nerve compression and alleviating
associated pain. -
