Cervical kinematics after fusion and bryan disc arthroplasty.
INTRODUCTION Disc arthroplasty has been shown to provide short-term clinical results that are comparable with those attained with traditional anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. One proposed benefit of arthroplasty is the ability to prevent or delay adjacent level operations by retaining motion at the target level and eliminating abnormal adjacent activity. This paper compares motion param...
متن کاملevaluation of adjacent segment degeneration after cervical spine surgery: arthroplasty versus fusion
background : anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (acdf) is an effective treatment for disc herniations ; but some studies demonstrated that in the untreated levels adjacent to a fusion, increased motion might lead to an increased risk of adjacent segment degeneration (asd). on the other hand, methods of cervical disc arthroplasty (cda) have improved. the aim of this study is to evaluate and...
متن کاملExamination of cervical spine kinematics in complex, multiplanar motions after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion and total disc replacement
BACKGROUND The biomechanical behavior of total disc replacement (TDR) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) incomplex multiplanar motion is incompletely understood. The purpose of this study was to determine whether ACDF or TDR significantly affects in vitro kinematics through a range of complex, multiplanar motions. METHODS Seven human cervical spines from C4-7 were used for thi...
متن کاملSurgery in cervical disc herniation: anterior cervical discectomy without fusion or with fusion
The study included a group of anterior cervical microdiscectomy without fusion performed at one level (either C5-C6 level or at the C6-C7 level) and a second group of patients with same single-level of anterior cervical discectomy with fusion. The kinematic analysis included the range of motion, anteroposterior translation and disc height assessed for the cervical functional spinal units at the...
متن کاملAdjacent Segment Pathology after Anterior Cervical Fusion
Anterior cervical fusion has become a standard of care for numerous pathologic conditions of the cervical spine. However, subsequent development of clinically significant disc disease at levels adjacent to fused discs is a serious long-term complication of this procedure. As more patients live longer after surgery, it is foreseeable that adjacent segment pathology (ASP) will develop in increasi...
