Disc Replacement surgery

Artificial Disc Replacement is a new surgical technique that offers an alternative to lumbar spinal fusion surgery. Disc Replacement is similar to hip or knee replacement and offers a new surgical option for treating spinal instability. Disc Replacement replaces one or more degenerated discs with new, artificial ones. This innovative technique stabilizes the spine, while preserving its mobility. To patients for whom it is appropriate, it has a quicker recovery process, involves less pain, and allows a faster return to normal activity.

Benefits of Artificial Disc Replacement surgery

Most importantly, when fusion surgery is performed, although your pain symptoms may go away, the vertebrae surrounding the disc space are immobilized and therefore typically limit flexibility in that area of the spine. Laboratory testing shows that the Artificial Disc design allows your spine to move. In the clinical study, patients were observed to have motion between 0 and 21 degrees while bending forward and backward.

Another benefit to disc replacement surgery with the Artificial Disc is that no bone graft is required. Often times with spinal fusion surgery, the bone graft used to pack the disc space is bone that the surgeon has to remove from the patient's hip. This means that the patient ends up having two incisions that must heal, as well as pain in the back and hip during recovery from the surgery.
