Cervical subtotal discectomy prosthesis validated in non-human primate model: A novel artificial cervical disc replacement concept?
Objective: To evaluate the biological function of cervical subtotal discectomy prosthesis (CSDP) implantation in a non-human primate model.Methods: A CSDP was tested for cytocompatibility and osseointegration capacity before implantation in non-human primates.

| description | Objective: To evaluate the biological function of cervical subtotal discectomy prosthesis (CSDP) implantation in a non-human primate model.Methods: A CSDP was tested for cytocompatibility and osseointegration capacity before implantation in non-human primates. Subsequently, the CSDP was improved based on three-dimensional CT measurements of the non-human primate cervical spine. Eight cynomolgus monkeys were selected for removal of the intervertebral disc and lower endplate of the C5/6 segment to complete the model construction for CSDP implantation. In 18-month follow-up, physiological indices, radiology, and kinematics were assessed to estimate the biological function of the CSDP in non-human primates, including biosafety, osseointegration, and biomechanics.Results: Co-cultured with the CSDP constituent titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V-AO), the mouse embryo osteoblast precursor cell MC3T3-E1 obtained extended adhesion, remarkable viability status, and cell proliferation. After implantation in the mouse femur for 28 days, the surface of Ti6Al4V-AO was covered by a large amount of new cancellous bone, which formed further connections with the femur cortical bone, and no toxicity was detected by blood physiology indices or histopathology. After completing implantation in primate models, no infection or osteolysis was observed, nor was any subsidence or displacement of the CSDP observed in CT scans in the 18-month follow-up. In particular, the interior of the cervical vertebra fixation structure was gradually filled with new trabecular bone, and the CSDP had achieved fixation and bony fusion in the vertebral body at 1 year post-operation. Meanwhile, no signs of inflammation, spinal cord compression, adjacent segment degeneration, or force line changes were observed in subsequent MRI observations. Moreover, there were no pathological changes of the joint trajectory, joint motion range, stride length, or the stance phase ratio revealed in the kinematics analysis at 3, 6, 12, or 18 months after CSDP implantation.Conclusion: We successfully designed a new cervical subtotal discectomy prosthesis and constructed an excellent non-human primate implantation model for the evaluation of subtotal disc replacement arthroplasty. Furthermore, we demonstrated that CSDP had outstanding safety, osseointegration capacity, and biomechanical stability in a non-human primate model, which might be a new choice in the treatment of cervical disc diseases and potentially change future outcomes of degenerative cervical diseases. |
