Neck pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms can make daily life difficult. At Mathur Spine Surgery in Cary, NC, we provide advanced Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) treatment to relieve nerve compression, stabilize the spine, and restore your quality of life. Led by Dr. Sameer Mathur, our team uses the latest surgical techniques to deliver precise and lasting results.

What Is Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)?

ACDF is a well-established spine surgery that removes a damaged or herniated disc in the neck (cervical spine) that’s pressing on nerves or the spinal cord. Once the disc is removed, the space is filled with a bone graft or implant, allowing the vertebrae to fuse together over time.
This fusion stabilizes the neck, relieves pain, and prevents further nerve irritation.

When Is ACDF Recommended?

Dr. Mathur may recommend ACDF surgery when conservative treatments such as medications, injections, or physical therapy fail to relieve symptoms. It’s typically used to treat:

• Herniated or Bulging Cervical Discs
• Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease
• Cervical Spinal Stenosis
• Bone Spurs or Nerve Compression
• Chronic Neck and Arm Pain
• Weakness, Tingling, or Numbness in Arms or Hands

The ACDF Procedure Explained

At Mathur Spine Surgery, the ACDF procedure is performed with precision and patient comfort in mind:

1. A small incision is made in the front of the neck to access the affected disc.
2. The damaged disc is carefully removed to relieve pressure on nerves.
3. A bone graft or implant is placed between the vertebrae to promote fusion.
4. A small plate and screws may be added for stability.

The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, and most patients can return home within a day. Recovery is generally quick, with noticeable improvements in pain and mobility within weeks.
