Malnutrition in Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF): Understanding Risks and Optimizing Patient Outcomes
Abstract
ACDF is a routine operation and is performed for Cervical Spondylosis, Herniated disc and cervical radicular pain. The procedure involves excision of the affected disc, relieving the cord or nerve root pressure, and then fixing the adjoining vertebrae. Cervical ACDF has been proved often to be successful with high percentage of pain relief and early return of function. However, as with any major surgery, there are some risks and complications that are apparent and may include infection, delayed bone healing/ non-union, implant failure and soft tissue loss. For a better understanding of surgical success and recovery, modifiable risk factors relating to these outcomes must be determined. One such critical, but frequently overlooked determinant is malnutrition.
