What is Anterior Cervical Fusion?
Surgeons perform Anterior Cervical Fusion as a surgical procedure to address specific conditions that affect the cervical spine, particularly the vertebrae in the neck region. It involves the fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae, creating a solid bridge of bone between them. The procedure aims to stabilize the cervical spine. Therefore, relieving pain, and addressing neurological symptoms. These are caused by conditions such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, fractures, or tumors.
In Anterior Cervical Fusion, the surgeon makes an incision in the front of the neck. Usually following a natural skin crease. This approach allows direct access to the affected vertebrae and reduces the need to manipulate or retract the spinal cord and nerves. The damaged disc or discs causing the problem are carefully removed to decompress the spinal cord and nerve roots. A bone graft, either taken from the patient’s own body (autograft) or from a donor source (allograft.) Then, is then placed between the adjacent vertebrae. The bone graft acts as a bridge, promoting the growth of new bone and facilitating the fusion process.
In some cases, additional stabilization may be achieved using metal plates, screws, or cages to hold the vertebrae in place during the fusion process. These implants provide immediate stability while the bone graft fuses over time. The fusion process typically takes several months. During which the bone graft integrates with the patient’s existing bone, forming a solid union between the vertebrae.
Medical professionals consider Anterior Cervical Fusion a highly effective procedure for addressing cervical spine conditions that conservative treatments have not successfully treated. It can help alleviate pain, restore stability, and improve overall neck function. Skilled orthopedic or neurosurgeons who specialize in spine surgery perform the procedure. Therefore, tailoring it to meet the unique needs of each individual patient.
