    Is it suitable to do the neck sit-up exercises 8 weeks post ACDF c6c7. The muscles in my neck have become very week.

    Thank you

    It depends upon your surgical construct. With good x-rays and use of autograft and plate, I would say yes. With PEEK cage or allograft, I would wait until 12 weeks.
