C4/C5 ACDF with disc spacer in situ, alignment is maintained with no hardware complications.
C5/C6 disc replacement noted. Mild anterolisthesis of C5 on C6 is stable and unchanged from the immediate post op X rays.
Alignment is maintained through the cervical spine.
Case Discussion
Nice example of 2 very different procedures on adjacent cervical disc spaces - one to fuse the joint, and the other to maintain movement in the joint.
