Cervical Disc Replacement
Cervical disc replacement surgery is performed to treat damaged or degenerative cervical discs in the neck. The procedure involves removing the affected disc and replacing it with an artificial disc to restore movement and relieve pain, numbness, or weakness caused by nerve compression. It is an alternative to spinal fusion, offering better mobility and faster recovery.
Metal-on-Metal Cervical Disc Replacement (Example: ProDisc-C) - These artificial discs typically consist of metal endplates and a metal core.
Metal-on-Polymer Cervical Disc Replacement (Example: Mobi-C) - These discs combine metal end plates with a polyethylene core, mimicking the natural disc's movement.
Ceramic-on-Polymer Cervical Disc Replacement (Example: Secure-C) - These use a ceramic component in combination with a polymer, offering a different wear profile.
Diagnosis begins with a physical examination to assess neck movement and nerve function. Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans help evaluate disc damage and nerve compression. In some cases, electromyography (EMG) may be used to test nerve activity before deciding on surgery.
