Subsidence in Single Level Cervical Disc Arthroplasty

Arthroplasty versus fusion for single-level cervical disc disease.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of cervical arthroplasty and anterior cervical discectomy fusion methods. METHODS The randomised clinical trial was conducted at the neurosurgical clinic of University of Harran, Turkey, between February 2009 and January 2010. The patients had single level disc disorder between C4-C7 levels. Before surgery, all of the patients had taken medic...

Sagittal alignment after single cervical disc arthroplasty.

STUDY DESIGN Prospective study. OBJECTIVES To analyze the sagittal balance after single-level cervical disc replacement (CDR) and range of motion (ROM). To define clinical and radiologic parameters those have a significant correlation with segmental and overall cervical curvature after CDR. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Clinical outcomes and ROM after CDR with Mobi-C (LDR, Troyes, France) pros...

Dynamic Cervical Implant (DCI) In Single Level Cervical Disc Disease

Introduction: This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of Dynamic Cervical Implants (DCI) as a form of dynamic instrumentation to treat single level cervical disc disease. This is a prospective case study of 15 consecutive patients, treated by the author, with single level cervical disc disease. Study duration was 3 years from October 2009 to October 2012. These 15 cases included 10 me...

Cervical Total Disc Arthroplasty

Symptomatic adjacent segment degeneration of the cervical spine remains problematic for patients and surgeons alike. Despite advances in surgical techniques and instrumentation, the solution remains elusive. Spurred by the success of total joint arthroplasty in hips and knees, surgeons and industry have turned to motion preservation devices in the cervical spine. By preserving motion at the dis...
