Overview of Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion:
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is a common surgery done to treat problems in the cervical spine. In this procedure, a damaged or herniated disc is removed from the neck through a small incision in the front. After removing the disc, the surgeon fuses the bones together to stabilize the spine and reduce pain.
Procedure Details of Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
During ACDF, the surgeon makes a small incision at the front of the neck to access the cervical spine safely. Special surgical tools are used to gently move soft tissues aside and reach the damaged disc. The disc is carefully removed, and any pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots is released. A bone graft or implant is then placed in the disc space to help the vertebrae fuse together over time. Metal plates and screws are often used to keep the spine stable during healing. This procedure restores alignment, relieves pain, and helps maintain proper neck function.
Conditions That Require ACDF
- To relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots caused by herniated discs.
- To treat degenerative disc disease in the cervical spine.
- To correct spinal instability or misalignment in the neck.
- To reduce pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms and shoulders due to nerve compression.
Medical Devices Used in ACDF Procedure
- Anterior Cervical Screw
- Anterior Cervical Plate
- Spine Implants (general category, including those for cervical spine)
- Bone Plates & Bone Screws (used in spinal fusion constructs)
- Locking Plates & Locking Screws
- Polyaxial Screw
- Expandable Cage System (spinal cage that can adjust height)
- Kerrison Punch (instrument for bone removal in spine surgery)
- Anterior Locking Screw
- Orthopedic Bone Drill Machines / Drills (for making holes in vertebrae)

Clinical Benefits of ACDF
- Provides long-term relief from neck pain caused by disc problems.
- Improves arm and hand strength by relieving nerve compression.
- Restores proper spinal alignment in the cervical region.
- Stabilizes the spine and prevents further degeneration.
- Allows patients to return to normal daily activities with improved quality of life.
