Abstract
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is the most frequently performed surgical treatment for several cervical spinal diseases. Including herniated disc, trauma and degenerative diseases [5, 8]. We have collected data of 31 patients admitted and operated between November 2017 to June 2019 having degenerative cervical disc disease who underwent ACDF reinforced with anterior cervical plate [11, 20]. All ACDF operations were performed using Smith-Robinson anteromedial approach using a surgical microscope [5, 16]. Approach Philadelphia collar were applied for 1 month post operatively. In our study we observed that ACDF achieves favourable radiologic results. The whole study data shows that there is a significant change in alignment of affected cervical spine after performing ACDF. Surgery related complications were not observed. No graft malposition, migration or mechanical failure of instruments. Objective: To evaluate radiologic result of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Methods: Retrospective review of clinical and radiological data of 31 patients. Cobb’s angle, C1-C2 angle, C2-C7 angle, Vertebral height were measured and followed.
