What is the affect of fusion surgery on my neck?
Single level anterior cervical fusion general does not result in any appreciable loss of motion. The most common levels for surgical intervention and fusion are the C5-C6, and C6-C7 levels. These levels contribute to a minor percentage of motion. Patient’s with degenerative cervical disc disease in fact report better neck movement and less pain, since the fusion removes the offending degenerated painful disc.
