ACDF, also known as Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion, is a surgery that removes a damaged, degenerated or herniated disc in the cervical spine, a.k.a. your neck. This procedure is done from the front and fuses together the disc adjacent to the bad disc for stability. People who are candidates for this procedure often experience severe neck pain, radiating arm pain, numbness, tingling or weakness in the arms that is caused by nerve compression. This can also reduce your range of motion, cause muscle spasms and can cause fine motor skill difficulties. ACDF is recommended if non-surgical options are exhausted. If experiencing anything near these symptoms feel free to call (618)-607-0061 or visit our website to schedule a consultation!
