Ceres-C Stand-alone ACDF, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, MIS procedure

An ACDF, or anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, is a minimally invasive procedure used to relieve pain caused by a herniated disc, collapsed disc space, or foraminal bone spurs.

The herniated disc and bone-spurs press against the nerve roots or spinal cord, causing neck pain, weakness, tingling, or arm pain down one or both arms. The Ceres-C Stand-alone Interbody is a special low-profile implant used to replace the damaged disc.

A wedge-shaped cage called a PEEK spacer is loaded with local bone-graft material and positioned in the open space between the vertebrae.

Each screw is carefully inserted at a biased angle into the low-profile titanium plate.

Cam locks are then rotated to lock the screws, securing the implant and stabilizing the spine as it heals.

Over time, the graft material will fuse with the vertebral tissue above and below, forming a bone-mass called a fusion.
