Join a group of experienced orthopaedic clinicians as they review the background of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery in a 2-part podcast series.

In part 1, we cover who does well with surgery, the indications and

surgical procedure, plus a deep dive into evidence-based pre- and post-operative rehabilitation.

There's not much hard research evidence to guide your decisions on how to structure and deliver, so tune into hear how expert clinicians approach things.

You'll learn about the phases of rehabilitation (we tackle the first two in today's episode), what’s normal, what’s not, strategies for collaborating with surgeons, and suggested interventions.
