Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
2019The anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for single-level disc disease was first described in 1958. Since that time, the anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) procedure has become a mainstay in spinal surgery, and its indications have expanded. Time spent ensuring proper positioning secures adequate access to the operative levels.

Anterior cervical discectomy with and without fusion
Journal of Neurosurgery, 1983✓ A prospective randomized study to compare discectomy without (DE) and with fusion (DEF) included 63 patients operated on for cervical herniated disc. The clinical outcome 3 and 12 months postoperatively was significantly better after DE than after DEF (p < 0.05).

Assessment of fusion after anterior cervical discectomy
British Journal of Neurosurgery, 2003There is no established method to assess fusion in patients following anterior cervical discectomy. In this study we have made a series of measurements to detect movement between vertebrae adjacent to an operated space. The absence of movement implies structural union between adjacent vertebrae.

Anterior cervical discectomy without interbody fusion
Surgical Neurology, 2002The use of an interbody bone graft during anterior cervical discectomy remains a controversial topic. This study presents the outcome of 64 consecutive patients who underwent anterior cervical discectomy without an interbody fusion.Sixty-four consecutive patients underwent anterior cervical discectomy without interbody fusion by one surgeon at Indiana ...

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
Spine, 1992An animal model for three-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion was established in the goat. Twenty-one goats underwent surgery, with seven goats in each of three experimental groups. In Group I, all seven goats underwent three-level anterior cervical discectomy without fusion.

Success of junctional anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
The Spine Journal, 2008Junctional breakdown has long been a consideration for surgeons when performing an arthrodesis in the cervical spine. Numerous authors have reported symptomatic junctional disease after fusion with varying degrees of reoperation. To our knowledge, there are no large series recording the fusion rate using instrumentation as an adjuvant to bone grafting ...
