CERVICAL

ACDF - Anterior Cervical Discectomy Fusion

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a surgery to remove a herniated or degenerative disc in the neck. An incision is made in the throat area to reach and remove the disc. A graft is inserted to fuse together the bones above and below the disc.

PCF - Posterior Cervical Fusion

Posterior Cervical Fusion (PCF) is the general term used to describe the technique of surgically mending two (or more) cervical spine bones together along the sides of the bone using a posterior (back of the neck) incision. Bone graft is placed along the sides the spine bones, which over time, fuses (mends) together.

Disc Arthroplasty

Intervertebral disc arthroplasty. It is a surgical procedure in which degenerated intervertebral discs in the spinal column are replaced with artificial disc implants in the lumbar (lower) or cervical (upper) spine.

Laminectomy

A surgical operation to remove the back of one or more vertebrae, usually to give access to the spinal cord or to relieve pressure on nerves.

Surgical Treatments

Laminectomy is a generally successful operation and typically solves the problem of symptoms in the legs. Typical diagnoses that lead to laminectomy are spinal stenosis or disc herniation.

Spinal Fusion

A fusion is a procedure that is done to “fuse” two or more spinal bones (vertebral bodies) together to stop motion between them. Spinal fusion, also called spondylodesis or spondylosyndesis, is a neurosurgical or orthopedic surgical technique that joins two or more vertebrae. This procedure can be performed at any level in the spine and prevents any movement between the fused vertebrae.
