Roode, who has been out of action since June of this year, announced on his Instagram account Friday that he has had surgery on his cervical spine fusing the C5/C6 vertebrae.
According to Johns Hopkins medicine, the "ACDF procedure is performed to treat a damaged disc in the neck area of the spine."
