Cervical Disc Arthroplasty versus Disc Fusion: A Finite Element Study
ثبت نشده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Disc degeneration is a natural process and is widely prevalent. The level of disc degeneration and the type of treatment varies from person to person. Fusion is a commonly chosen treatment option. However clinical and biomechanical studies have shown that spinal levels adjacent to a fusion experience increased motion and higher stress which may lead to adjacent-segment disease [1]. Cervical disc arthroplasty achieves similar decompression of the neural elements, but preserves the motion at the operated level and may potentially decrease the occurrence of adjacent segment degeneration.

Introduction: Due to limitations of current treatments for degenerative disc disease, arthroplastic methods to repair the diseased disc have been proposed. The artificial disc is a mobile implant for degenerative disc replacement that attempts to lessen the degeneration of the adjacent elements following interbody fusion procedures. Because the success of artificial disc replacement depends on ...
