🤔 What is an ACDF?

Описание: 🤔 What is an ACDF?

💭 ACDF stands for: Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion

👨‍⚕️ An ACDF is a surgery that involves removing a damaged or herniated disc in the neck that usually causes severe nerve pinching.

🩺 The surgeon uses a microscope to go through the neck and remove the damaged disc, easing pressure. Next, they join the nearby vertebrae with bone grafts or interbody devices to stabilize the spine and encourage healing. A plate and screws would then be added to strengthen the fusion.

🏥 ACDF is usually effective in treating conditions such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and cervical fractures.
