Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This article describes the Prestige LP Artificial Cervical Disc, a new motion-sparing medical device designed for use in the cervical spine to treat symptomatic degenerative disc disease in patients who have failed conservative care. This technology allows for the maintenance of normal cervical spinal motion. As such, this motion-sparing technology has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of this disease. In addition to allowing restoration of the normal spinal motion, this new device does not require bone graft or as long a recovery time as needed for fusion of the joint. Owing to these features, motion-sparing devices may replace the standard fusion technique currently employed in many patients to reduce pain after degeneration of the disc of the neck. |
