Abstract

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery is one of the most common treatment options for degenerative diseases of the cervical spine. Decompression is accomplished via an anterior approach to remove pressure on the neural elements. Discectomy alone often leads to collapse of the disc space; thus, an inter-body spacer is used to achieve stability. This chapter covers the history and evolution of ACDF. The evolution of interbody spacers is briefly reviewed. The main focus of the chapter is to discuss the controversy regarding the use of an interbody graft with anterior plating versus a stand-alone cage for this procedure.
