Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure used to treat conditions in the cervical spine (neck) such as ruptured discs and bone spurs. These conditions can compress the spinal cord or nerves, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms, or hands, sometimes causing trouble with walking, balance, and coordination. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision at the front of the neck to access the damaged disc. The ruptured disc or bone spur is then removed using a surgical microscope, relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Afterward, the space between the vertebrae is filled with a bone graft or a synthetic spacer, and the vertebrae then fuse together to stabilize the spine.
