Kinematics of Cervical Total Disc Replacement Adjacent to a Two - Level , Straight vs . Lordotic Fusion ( Revision 1 )
Study design: In-vitro biomechanical study. Objective: To characterize cervical TDR kinematics above 2-level fusion, and to determine the effect of fusion alignment on TDR response. Summary of Background Data: Cervical total disc replacement (TDR) may be a promising alternative for a symptomatic adjacent level after prior multi-level cervical fusion. However, little is known about the TDR kinem...
متن کاملBiomechanics of Hybrid Anterior Cervical Fusion and Artificial Disc Replacement in 3-Level Constructs: An In Vitro Investigation
BACKGROUND The ideal surgical approach for cervical disk disease remains controversial, especially for multilevel cervical disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanics of the cervical spine after 3-level hybrid surgery compared with 3-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighteen human cadaveric spines (C2-T1) were evaluated unde...
متن کاملMinimally Invasive Anterior Cervical Discectomy Without Fusion to Treat Cervical Disc Herniations in Patients with Previous Cervical Fusions
Adjacent level cervical disc disease and secondarily progressive disc space degeneration that develops years after previously successful anterior cervical fusion at one or more levels is a common, but potentially complex problem to manage. The patient is faced with the option of further open surgery which involves adding another level of disc removal with fusion, posterior decompression, and st...
متن کاملThe Bryan Artificial Disc
p0020The cervical spine is a linkage of specialized joints and, like other joints, may be the source of significant pain and functional incapacity with age, trauma, and subsequent degeneration. However unlike other major joints, the traditional perception is that motion in the cervical spine is not a necessity and has been routinely sacrificed for pain relief and functional recovery. For more t...
متن کاملThe Use of Artificial Disc Replacement in Degenerative Conditions of the Cervical Spine
Purpose of Review Anterior cervical fusion, the gold standard for reconstruction following anterior cervical decompression, is both safe and effective but potentially accelerates degeneration of adjacent segments. Artificial disk replacement is an emerging technology with the potential to maintain motion and decrease adjacent segment degeneration. Several devices are currently in pilot studies ...
