The Sports OrthoPods discuss Jack Eichel's cervical spine surgery and the controversy surrounding his desire to have a cervical disc replacement instead of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) that was recommended by his team's medical staff when he was still a member of the Buffalo Sabres. According to the NHL's Collective Bargaining Agreement, it is the team's medical staff, and not the player, who has final say on treatment decisions. Eichel was eventually traded to the Las Vegas Golden Knights where he was permitted to undergo the disc replacement surgery. We break down the scientific and ethical dilemmas that exist in this fascinating story.
