On total disc replacement.
Low back pain consumes a large part of the community's resources dedicated to health care and sick leave. Back disorders also negatively affect the individual leading to pain suffering, decreased quality-of-life and disability. Chronic low back pain (CLBP) due to degenerative disc disease (DDD) is today often treated with fusion when conservative treatment has failed and symptoms are severe. Th...

Rationale for total lumbar disc replacement In the early 20th century, surgical fusion of one or more ‘functional spinal units’ (FSU) was developed and primarily performed for the treatment of spinal infection. 1-4 In the second half of the century, the ind...
متن کاملMaterial Science in Cervical Total Disc Replacement
Current cervical total disc replacement (TDR) designs incorporate a variety of different biomaterials including polyethylene, stainless steel, titanium (Ti), and cobalt-chrome (CoCr). These materials are most important in their utilization as bearing surfaces which allow for articular motion at the disc space. Long-term biological effects of implanted materials include wear debris, host inflamm...
متن کاملTotal Disc Replacement in Lumbar Degenerative Disc Diseases
More than 10 years have passed since lumbar total disc replacement (LTDR) was introduced for the first time to the world market for the surgical management of lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD). It seems like the right time to sum up the relevant results in order to understand where LTDR stands on now, and is heading forward to. The pathogenesis of DDD has been currently settled, but diagno...
متن کاملLumbar total disc replacement: a numerical study.
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical effects of the Maverick(R) disc prosthesis at the implanted and adjacent level by the finite element (FE) method. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 3D FE model of the L3-L5 segment was built. To simulate the different physiological movements (flexion, extension, lateral bending, axial rotation) pure moments of 10 Nm were applied. To evaluate t...
