ACDF Surgery

Is this the one where they remove and fuse in the neck? If so, my Dad had that done about a decade back. He was back at work within a week, but he's a physician so not really sitting at a desk much. I can't recall if he had to do any PT, I think it was just the healing and dealing with pain for a little bit from the surgery. He has a smaller range of motion on his neck from it, but other than that he's had no other complications. Seems like it is a pretty routine thing now. I think he said they used a cadaver hip bone as part of the fusion, but they may be using manmade materials in these now.
