ACDF

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery involves removing a damaged disc to relieve the spinal cord or nerve root pressure and alleviate the corresponding pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling. A discectomy is a form of surgical decompression, so the procedure may also be called an anterior cervical decompression. An interbody device is placed at the site of the removed disc. A Cervical plate is placed over the site and is fixated with cervical plate screws into the vertebral body.

Stand Alone Anterior Cervical Fusion

Stand Alone Anterior Cervical Fusion involves removing a damaged disc to relieve the spinal cord or nerve root pressure and alleviate the corresponding pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling. After the discectomy is performed, a bone filled PEEK(plastic) or titanium stand-alone interbody device is placed at the site of the removed disc. Screws are then placed through the cage into the vertebral body to secure the interbody device in place.

PCF

Posterior Cervical fusion (PCF) surgery involves removing bone to decompress the spine. The removal of this bone relieves stenosis(narrowing of the foramen) to open the central and lateral foramen, allowing the relief of the spinal cord and the lateral nerve roots. After the decompression, lateral mass screws are placed with rods and set screws to fixate the spine.
