Abstract
The Cervical radiculopathy is a condition that occurs in the cervical spine and involves pathology of the cervical nerve roots. Cervical radiculopathy is a condition that occurs in 83 per 100,000 persons annually [1]. This condition can occur as a result of nerve root compression due to intervertebral disc herniation as well as foraminal stenosis [2-3]. Patients frequently experience neck pain along with upper extremity dysfunction such as diminished sensation, decreased strength, and alterations in motor function [4]. In some cases, conservative interventions fail to resolve these symptoms, and surgical procedures become the primary consideration for management. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been considered the gold standard for treating recalcitrant neurological deficits that occur as a result of cervical intervertebral disc herniation [5-6].
