Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion Treatment in Raleigh, NC

Chronic neck pain, stiffness, or arm weakness can make even simple tasks challenging. At Mathur Spine Surgery in Raleigh, NC, we specialize in Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)—a proven surgical procedure that relieves nerve pressure, stabilizes the spine, and restores neck function. Led by Dr. Sameer Mathur, our team provides advanced spine care with precision and compassion.

What Is Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)?

ACDF is a surgical treatment used to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves caused by a damaged or herniated disc in the neck. During the procedure, the problematic disc is removed, and the space is replaced with a bone graft or implant. Over time, the vertebrae fuse together, restoring spinal alignment and stability.
This approach helps alleviate neck pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness caused by nerve compression.

When Is ACDF Recommended?

Dr. Mathur may recommend ACDF surgery when non-surgical treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or spinal injections no longer provide relief. It is effective for conditions such as:

• Herniated or Bulging Cervical Discs
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Cervical Spinal Stenosis
• Nerve Compression and Radiculopathy
• Bone Spurs or Spinal Arthritis
• Persistent Neck or Arm Pain with Numbness or Weakness

The ACDF Procedure: What to Expect

At Mathur Spine Surgery, ACDF is performed using advanced, minimally invasive techniques whenever possible:

1. A small incision is made at the front of the neck.
2. The damaged disc is removed to relieve pressure on nerves or the spinal cord.
3. A bone graft or implant is inserted to maintain proper spacing between vertebrae.
4. A small plate and screws are used to stabilize the area while fusion occurs.

The surgery usually lasts one to two hours, and most patients go home the same or next day. Recovery is generally quick, with noticeable pain relief and improved movement in a few weeks.
