FAQS – Anterior Cervical Decompression & Spine Fusion (ACDF)

1. What is ACDF?

Anterior Cervical Decompression & Spine Fusion is a surgical procedure that removes a damaged cervical disc or bone spur from the front of the neck to relieve nerve or spinal cord compression and fuses the adjacent vertebrae to stabilize the spine.

2. Who is a candidate for ACDF?

Patients with persistent neck pain, arm pain, numbness, or weakness caused by herniated discs, cervical stenosis, or degenerative disc disease, and who do not respond to conservative treatment, may be considered for ACDF.

3. How is the surgery performed at DRHC?

The surgeon makes a small incision in the front of the neck, removes the problematic disc or bone spur, and places a spacer or bone graft between the vertebrae, often secured with a plate and screws to promote fusion.

4. What is the recovery process after ACDF?

Patients usually start walking soon after surgery, wear a cervical collar if advised, and resume light activities within a few weeks. Full recovery and bone fusion may take 2–3 months, supported by physiotherapy.

5. Are there risks or complications?

Risks include infection, bleeding, nerve injury, difficulty swallowing or speaking, non-union of the fusion, or persistent symptoms. Advanced surgical techniques at DRHC help minimize these risks.
