Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery is a common procedure performed to relieve pain and restore function in patients with cervical spondylosis, a condition characterized by the degeneration of the intervertebral discs and surrounding structures in the neck. The surgery involves removing the damaged disc between two vertebrae and fusing the bones together to create a solid, pain-free connection. It is typically performed when conservative treatments, such as physical therapy, medication, and injections, have failed to provide adequate relief. ACDF surgery is generally considered a safe and effective procedure, with most patients experiencing significant pain relief and improved function. It is important for patients to discuss the potential benefits and risks with their doctor before making a decision about surgery.
