F&Q
ACDF is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving symptoms of cervical spine disorders, such as herniated discs and degenerative disc disease, by removing damaged disc material and stabilizing the spine using bone grafts and implants.
ACDF is recommended for individuals experiencing chronic neck pain, arm pain, or neurological symptoms resulting from cervical spine conditions that haven’t responded to conservative treatments. It aims to alleviate pain, restore spinal stability, and improve neurological function.
During ACDF, Dr. Rangnekar accesses the cervical spine through an anterior approach, removes the damaged disc material, and stabilizes the spine using bone grafts and implants. This facilitates fusion and restores spinal alignment and function.
Recovery from ACDF involves a period of rest followed by gradual rehabilitation, including physical therapy and activity modification. Patients work closely with Dr. Rangnekar to ensure optimal healing and long-term success of the procedure.
