Surgical intervention may be required for very severe cases of neck osteoarthritis. The procedures may involve removal of bone, osteophytes (bone spurs), or disc tissue which is compressing nerves of the spinal cord. Cervical fusion, or fusing the discs in the cervical region of the spine, may help stabilize the neck.
The minimally invasive approach is a favored surgical option for patients who are candidates for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion at an outpatient spine surgery center. ACDF may reduce your neck pain and related symptoms by relieving compression on nerves in your neck and stabilizing the cervical spine.
