The cervical spine is responsible for supporting the weight of the head and allowing for movement and flexibility of the neck. However, when a disc in the neck becomes damaged or deteriorates due to age or injury, it can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulders, and arms. This can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making everyday tasks difficult and affecting their ability to work or participate in activities. Cervical Disc Fusion Surgery, also known as cervical fusion or anterior cervical fusion, is a surgical procedure performed to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by damaged or degenerated discs in the neck. This procedure involves fusing two or more vertebrae in the cervical spine, the seven small bones that make up the neck, to create a solid, stable column.
