C2-C3 anterior cervical discectomy: Anatomical considerations and outcomes
By Chisango ZM, Jasti S, Batrash F and 8 others.
Abstract
Introduction
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) at C2-C3 is technically demanding due to complex neurovascular anatomy and limited surgical access. Comprehensive anatomical guidance for this approach remains limited. We provide a detailed anatomical review of the anterior approach to C2-C3 and present institutional clinical outcomes for this procedure across a range of indications.
