Anterior Cervical Fusion Surgery

ACDF Spinal Surgery

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is a widely performed spinal surgery that combines disc removal and vertebra fusion to relieve symptoms arising from cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy. By addressing the source of nerve compression, ACDF effectively alleviates pain and other neurological symptoms, allowing for a significant improvement in function. The approach taken in ACDF—accessing the cervical spine through the front—optimizes visibility and access, enabling precise removal of the problematic disc while minimizing damage to surrounding structures. Research indicates that patients who undergo ACDF Spinal Surgery often experience substantial relief within weeks, with many returning to normal activities sooner than anticipated, underscoring its effectiveness as a treatment modality.
