Cervical and Lumbar Disc Arthroplasty: A Review of Current Implant Design and Outcomes

Cervical and Lumbar Disc Arthroplasty: A Review of Current Implant Design and Outcomes

While spinal disc pathology has traditionally been treated using fusion-based procedures, recent interest in motion-preserving disc arthroplasties has grown. Traditional spinal fusion is associated with loss of motion, alteration of native spine kinematics, and increased risks of adjacent segment di...
