quick question to spinal community
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello
Would someone please explain the meaning of ACDF. I see these initials used rather frequently in postings, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I've had two cervical surgeries (cage- front & rear)-levels- 3,4,5,6,7 & T1.

I have been reading this section for a while now. Thought it was time to jump in. ...Thanks, Blakitty
