MOTION-SPARING SPINE SURGERY
Conventional techniques for spinal surgery have relied on arthodesis (or fusion) of spinal bones to each other to treat pain and provide adequate structural support. Following in the footsteps of breakthrough technology such as artificial knee and hip joints, artificial spinal disc replacement is now available.
In properly selected patients, replacing cervical and/or lumbar discs can prevent the need for fusion surgery and allow for more normal spinal movement following surgery. Recovery time is often faster and there is no need for special bracing, as well.
